Leaving it All Behind
I woke up this morning and the fog moved in with the rain Filled my mug the last thing that I've got to give away Feels like I've been losing for so long I'm not even in the game

Mona
There's a girl who everyone knows Her name is Mona but nobody knows She sings and she'll dance a harmony She goes rambling all over town like destiny

Midnight Moon
I woke up after midnight And thought I'd drift awhile Packed a bag sipped the whiskey too I'm going to visit that midnight moon

Last Man in the Frozen Canyon
The caws of the crows echoed through the canyon walls and the frost stiffened in the morning freeze that comes before dawn. Today marks my second day in this desolate canyon that seems to be occupied by me alone. My bones shivered and muscles quaked throughout the long night. My leg was terribly wounded as I got separated from the rest of my men. Now, it is only me crawling along this bitterly cold canyon. Going up was not an option but I thought to myself I may be able to crawl down and out. The mission was clear; survival. If I could but crawl out of the canyon I could seek refuge at the village that sat upon the canyon's exit. But for the time being shivers and shrieks through my spine would be the only company I had until light.

Leaving Today
I packed my bags up yesterday No reason left for me to stay Nothing left dreary days This time I'm going far to stay Been gone for years in my mind

Going to the River
I’m going to the river Gonna rest my weary mind Listen to that stream And watch my life drift by Some ancient memory to ponder on

That Friend of Mine
Is there anything out there Or only this hazy view Watching the water but its nothing to you I wonder if they’re waiting for me

Ridge-line at Dusk
I stood a top a ridge As dusk was creeping in But the half-light shined through my eyes Blaming myself and your wicked pride

I Can't Cut the Knot
In early June I went fishing a day or two I tied on a beautiful caddis in my view Thought that with it I’d only cast a few

I'm a Fool
I’m just a fool Out here panning for gold Searching for beauty untold I’m just a fool Thinking things will change But a fools memories

This Prison I'm In
This prison I’m in doesn’t have bars There’s no cell that keeps me bound It’s the darkest place that I’ve found I plan my escape day after day

Fleeting #2 My Love is a Veil
My first piece on vocal was just a little over a year ago. A poem that I think still encapsulates my thoughts and values towards love but lacked any form or style to it. I certainly wouldn't write that now I have found some form and added flare to my writing but I certainly find my word choice and detail have improved noticeably. Writing has been a journey for me and fleeting showcases the journey. A love that comes and turns to words to melt away from the mind into creation. Beginning as a writer was quite terrifying for me and accepting it as part of my personality was a struggling process and now I'm sure Fleeting was only the seed of a grand passion.
