If there were no night and day
No darkness and light
Only a constant of one or the other
… or something in between
If there were no top and bottom
No rich and poor
Only a constant of one or the other
… or something in between
If there were no good and evil
No right and wrong
Only a constant of one or the other
… or something in between
If there were no love and hate
Only a constant of one or the other
… or something in between
If there were no joy and sadness
Only a constant of one or the other
… or something in between
If all these things were so
There would be no time or fate
No emotions or feelings
No wants or desires
No choices or mistakes
Nothing to fear and nothing to hide
Everything and everyone would be… equal

Though it may seem a lie, I am not obsessed with death. It is a season we must too often witness and one day endure, but until it is our earthly end, I believe we should turn away from it, ever marching toward the good light through this dark and sometimes dreary world. My hope is that in the words I share, you will find the light–the light that sorrow often dims. My wish is that I might blaze a trail to help us all find the peace and comfort that is ours should we but receive it. My want is merely to love and be loved as I walk this earth with you.

Sometimes I like to step out of character and write something that makes people say, “What the… ?!” And what better opportunity to do that than Kellie Elmore’s Free Write Friday? Her prompt this week was a line from one of John Mellancamp’s oldies. This is what it inspired from yours truly. Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s part 15 of “The Last Grain of Sand”. I’m posting it to Kellie Elmore’s Free Write Friday, but it’s not really what she’s looking for, and I apologize for that. The segments are also getting longer as I move into novel mode, so you might want to print it and settle into your favorite chair. I like short chapters, but sometimes they gotta go where they want to go. Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »
