Remembrance

Dealing with death at a young age

The first time I was 'around' death, for want of a better term, I was seven, maybe eight years old. For whatever reason I cannot recall the specific age I was or the exact time of year, all I know is that it was 2002 and it was either autumn or winter because of the series of events that led up to the deaths. If it was autumn then it was before my eighth birthday, if it was winter then it may have been after I turned eigh...

A couple of years ago I noticed that I was having some troubles walking. It wasn't anything really serious, just that my legs felt a little weak, stiff and I had no stamina. I started having some back problems, nothing really bad, just every now and then the base of my back would feel stiff.Then this late spring when I was seeing my doctor for my yearly check-up I told him how I was having problems walking. I was taking s...

Adventure Time: Drive Free, Live Fun, Some Day...

Point the car out. Out where there’s fun and adventure and no cubicles. YOLO, right?

Every day, he got into his car and drove.Every day, he was free. He could just keep going. Drive to the mountains, or the lake, or the forest, or a city far away. He could go on wild adventures, travel to exotic places, see how folks lived over there. Ride elephants, jump out of planes, dance with a stranger, read a book in the park. He could see the sun set over the ocean a thousand miles away. Instead, he went to work....

Lowenna 2 and the secrets of light and darkness: chapter 20

Lowenna finally gets some sleep and time to heal, but what dangers lay ahead.

Chapter 20, Visions of tomorrowsWhen Lowenna opened her eyes she was no longer in the lovely comfortable bed, but lying on the hard ground “Dreamscape,” she whispered to herself, hoping she had at least rested for a little while. She slowly got up. It was dark. Lowenna could see one of the moons high above her, while the clouds hid the other.Lowenna looked around to find she was at the bottom of the stairs, which lead to...

A woman, I can see you Gazing from afar With hair of gold And a mare of transcendence The life fades from me As the blood seeps thru my wounds But I do not fear what comes next For my goddess will come for me I see you, Valkyrja Riding alongside your sisters You’ve come to take me far away Take me to meet divinity That I may gaze upon Her tears of red gold And that immaculate necklace That sits atop her bosom Take my hand...

Images flash in my mind Memories play back Like an invasive parasite Forcing the reliving Of moments best forgotten Old demons are laughing at me When love fades away And the darkness prevails All gates are open For the hateful spawn to spew forth In my darkest hours I shall rise or shall fall Will I fight or will I succumb to this pain I take a deep breath And plunge into anxiety Forcing myself down This decrepit path A...

She blew in like an aggravated F5 tornado, shouted, "Don't you dare say a thing,” slammed the door shut and slung her purse across the room. It ricocheted away from my bottom-weary couch, cleared off the end table, then teetered briefly at the edge before following the displaced debris onto the floor. Only the reading lamp survived, leaning drunkenly against the wall, shade tilted at a precarious angle, light flickering,...

Just nod if you can hear me

Time Traveler

Traveling, into the dim reaches of reality.

Venture back into the past I do.Times long ago, I can't undo. Back in time when I was a kid.Eons have past, heaven forbid. Places that I have visited before.Spaces not wanting to re-explore. Bruises, scars, some are painful.Matter of fact, many be baneful. Asking myself from time to time.How can I ever undo the crime? Guilty feeling passed onto me,For things I never asked to be. Stuff I never would have chosen.Deeds that...

As I live and breathe, so do these animals and trees. Now I perform a palm read, on the veins of these leaves. And it will tell me, the wrongs of my breed.I can hear her soul, she cries for me to aid her. But our kind is convinced, we are the single child of Mother Nature.A child greedier than no other, we decorate our homes, But pillage that of our mother, and act like gods before our brothers.Confining them in jars, lab...
