Earth to Ash Episode Fifty Three – Nod, On My Watch

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I’m out on a stroll in the beautiful beginning of August. Saying “Good Morning” to all my neighbours, and tossing a subtle nod hello to those folks I don’t know, hoping to exchange smiles in passing. I also discuss how letting go of hurt and pain can have a healing effect. And, as always, I throw in a poem, no wait…two poems for good measure.

Enjoy!!

Sleep Away Camp

by cabin four, sitting on a crooked step
forest sounds could be heard
trees whispering
brooks babbling on
birds fight for a sleeping spot

A Night with George

Photo By: Sara Swain

street of dampened cobblestone
dirty pigeons and trampled smokes
where marquee lights faded in the creeping sun
and police cruiser chirps, shooed on
as randoms of strangers filter out of holes in the walls
scurrying from the light
with squinted eyes, messed up hair…
empty pockets and smeared makeup
they all zombie
stagger…stumble…kiss and curse
down a drunk-filled stretch
past half-eaten pizza by the atm
after the hot dogs being served with rotten hands
before the guy with the sign looking for money
next to the lady who bums cigarettes
while muffled beats still play out
faint
like the night is still hanging on
barely
to dull-sounding music like life support
it makes you sick as you stand there
then you laugh for no reason
check your pockets
and hail that holy cab

Earth to Ash Episode # 49 – I’m Glad to the Bone

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I’m out and about and glad I am. Glad to the bone, because if you can’t find happiness in your day, then that day stays exactly the same. Who wants that vicious cycle? I know I don’t, and I may have a way to make sure you don’t either. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.

Enjoy!!

Earth to Ash Episode # 48 – I’m Overlooking Things

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I am on a completely different path, far from the harbour shore, overlooking things. Seeing the bigger picture and shaking the anxiety off of me, as I sometimes have to do. If not, I overlook life. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.

Enjoy!!

Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.

In this episode, I am on a brisk morning walk discussing a bunch of things. Particularly, life and death, and how those two aspects of existence have a daily effect on us and how I feel about both of them after recently being touched by loss one again. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.

Enjoy!!
