I am currently updating my story, Commonwealth of Souls, so it is in draft form and not shown. I will post when I have completed it.



My Belief

"The value of humanity can be found in the way we proceed through life; the way we go or do not go to war; the way we hate or love our neighbor; the way we abuse or cherish our children, and, most importantly, the way we disregard or value nature and all the beautiful creatures sharing this planet with us. Respect and appreciation of nature and of all life itself is the foundation upon which a kind heart stands."

"Happiness is important. When you're happy your soul's thirst for light is quenched. But sadness is also important, as it allows for down time and contemplation, and, without sadness, how could we recognize happiness."

A Heart Left Closed

I never thought I'd feel this way again.
At first you were a game to me; a whim
And I was lonely
So tired of spending time alone
And pretending to be happy all the time.

I was careful
Afraid of what might happen to me
if I let go
Opening my heart to someone new
never presented itself as a thing to do
And I was certain—so certain
that a heart left closed could feel no pain.

Beyond the sadness and the rain
I sensed your love coming my way
It brushed away the silent tears
Left by a love of many years
You put the song back in my heart
I never thought the days would start
when I'd be caring once again
A heart left closed can never mend.
