He hides in the crowd
Afraid for his life
He curls up in panic
He knows there’s a knife.
He’s yanked to the fore
With nary thought
The cutting is quick
For those that are caught
The action is swift
Their life force is done
No more to shine
His days in the sun.
Death sweeps away
The thoughts and the cares
All that remains
Are discarded hairs.
I’ll take just a trim
Off my shaky old head
So toss them aside
Those cut hairs are dead!
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Myriad memories frozen in time
The Power of Story
Doing the best I can to keep it on the bright side
Embracing imperfection with little fashion, lots of faith, & fresh air
The ink of inspiration whets the quill, but the dawn of innovation guides the hand
