Low, Cairo. Low, Cairo.You’re doing just fine. Slow, Cairo. Slow, Cairo. Just take your time. Look up and around. Just see where you are. There’s no need to frown. All dangers are far. So, breathe, Cairo. Breathe, Cairo. You’re doing your best. Ease, Cairo. Ease, Cairo. You’ll find your breath. I know that you’re scared.Continue reading “Cairo’s Song”

Writer’s Getaway
Step out on a smooth deck, warmed by the sunBreath in the fresh, lake airThe water glistens in the soft morning lightAnd a breeze teases the trees on the shoreNot a motion in sight in this peaceful lake lifeThe world wakes up slowlyYou sit in your chair with coffee in handand smile at a tranquilContinue reading “Writer’s Getaway”

Pray and wonder why?All you can do now is cryAs impossible comes knocking at your door. Perhaps it’s your fault?This dream’s come toContinue reading “When a Dream Fades”

What magic there is to be flying the clouds.And wishing you never have to come down. Be a swordsman, a ranger, a solider in space.Something elseContinue reading “For the Escape Artists.”

In the Mirror
Take a look in the mirror. What do you do you see? Are you someone you like to be? Do you focus on the outside? Or does the inside matter more? Do you listen to others? Or just talk, talk, and bore? Do you put first your own heart? Or heed the hearts of others?Continue reading “In the Mirror”
