Writing through Storms

Poetry

August 8, 2025

Writing is my lighthouse whenI'm lost at sea in thedark fogamong the sirens singing theirseductive songs.It is my netthat catches fish to feedme when I'm starving and afraid.An albatross silently looms, whilewaves swell and break against myraft.The kraken yawns...

  I thoroughly enjoyed this story, Damian. I love the simplistic history that makes us all humans deep down, no matter if we try to hide it.
  I have very vivid memories of one of my grannies. She was a tiny firecracker. Snap a chicken’s neck and yet tend to our little boo-boos with TLC with the same hand.
  Burger Chef rocked!
  Wonderfully vivid write, it kept me enthralled.

    Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you enjoyed the story my friend. Cool, somebody remembers Burger Chef. lol. It is the simple things in our histories, that really show our similarities as human beings, couldn’t agree with you more. Grannies, are just different, in a good way. Appreciate you.

  I had a taste of this life. I know of the family vibe and I too lost some friends. I’m glad it’s all over, but I still have friends lost in that world.
