The world is silent
Hold your breath and count to ten
Open eyes again

Will
Humble though many may seem
Until into others they ream
Making sounds and noises bleed
Annotating with terrible glee
Never taking a moment to breathe
Hungry For…
So many people
Think there’s only one way
And they forget just what they have
Reality isn’t always the same
Voices don’t always cry out
Even when they know
Despair has fingers everywhere
Lullaby – Story Snippet
“Please don’t scream anymore.”
Everyone was startled by the low words from the crouching man in the middle of the room. They hadn’t realized that he’d stopped singing the quiet lullaby to himself until that moment.
“I don’t want to know what will happen if you wake her up.”
It was his oldest friend that ventured the question they were all wanting to ask. “Wake who up, buddy?”
“The crying woman in the back of my head.”
Real Rarity – Silly Snippet
While everyone was busy watching the ‘rare’ solar eclipse, the Scarlet Caper made off with something far more rare and valuable for its inability to be reoccurring or recoverable:

Something I realized while watching a show with my niece.
Check out the original One-Liner Wednesday.
Disappear – Snippet
There were times when Lila just wanted to throw up her hands in defeat, turn and then stomp away, but in the end, she never could bring herself to do it.
This was supposed to be more, but I got the one sentence out and everything else that was supposed to come after vanished like goat milk that my dogs can reach and my brain refused to give me any more.
Practice Makes Progress
Softer now
One step up
Until it’s needed again
Not going over
Do practice
Well, it’s been half a year since my nephew started playing the trumpet (he’s using my younger sister’s trumpet now and is a lot more careful than he was before, thank goodness) and he’s really sounding pretty good.
Kindness Where Thought There Was None
Stop doubting yourself, be bold. –Gordon Ramsey, MasterChefUS
For I have traveled so far, not knowing how I look
Even thinking that I am nothing more than a crook
And forgetting at times that I can be so much more
Reality is something that was always such a chore
And then came another
Who stood in front of me
Who I thought would criticize
But only bolstered me
Nonsensical Moment
My cat snores.
My dog snores.
All of my family snores.
But you know who doesn’t snore?
Not me, I also snore.
The goats. The goats don’t snore.
But the geese make all this racket in the middle of the night anyway.
