as light goes away
darkness grows and consumes me
will the sun return

That’s A Dandy Line
When a flower is plucked from the garden, it quickly forgets where it once was planted. – Ash/Dad
A Shade of Ash # 15 – Today’s A Given
As another day sets, I stand in retrospect and watch as the sun goes away…maybe forever. A few minutes left of today to ponder some yesterdays with an old friend who has since lost his battle. Sadly, I am reminded of one of the realities of life is death. And, how sometimes we take life for granted not knowing for sure if tomorrow will be. – Ash
A Shade of Ash # 14 – I Have To Watch My Own Back Too
I made peace with something not long ago. It hurt, it also healed. The result was me realizing that I am not letting go forever, but rather, me accepting I cannot hang for now. Life needs to be continued… – Ash/Dad
Bike Writer # 57 – I Ashore You, It’s Good Advice!
Having a good day starts with wanting to in the first place. So, when the focus is happiness, just try your best to finish what you’ve started. – Ash
A Harbour Night
Boats sway nestled to port
quietly breaking the ocean toward the shore
its laps catch my ear
then, I see
I watch as the moorings drip
counting seconds for no reason
high over in the charcoaling sky
chimney smoke rises, strangling the hills
there…
blips of buoy lights reach north and south
tomorrow to be a beautiful day
this, a story, a grandfather tale
to comfort me
as I am ushered home by the dear harbour
before it can sleep it sings
lending me its sounds for sweet dreams to come
allows me the harmony of its salty crests
until I turn my door in goodnight
I listen for the songs of the harbour
Bike Writer # 55 – Create A Chain Reaction
Although I am in the middle of nowhere, it’s everywhere I need to be. – Ash
Bike Writer # 54 – I Gear Towards Happiness
Every day of your life is a chance to live every day of your life. – Ash
Who Hurts More? – Haiku
When I see your tears
a million mirrors reflect
pain inside of me
A Night That Almost Lost Tomorrow
That night was eternal
drifting toward a forever sleep
voices falling faint
thoughts of tomorrow escaping
with time slipping away
I walked toward a light I was not scared to follow
body still euphoria right there
but before the final second of a wasted life
I found my soul
it told me I was not broken
gave me the strength to awaken
promising another day to make up my mind
