I lost my brother,of so many years,84 for him,he wa everythings to me.A friend I told my problems to,a friend I took my walks with,a friend who was there my first day of school,He was there for me,but now he’s gone,and I’m all alone,I love you Max,Be good,for someday I’ll see you.

A young boy walks on a road,All around he feels an emptiness,As if the road was once full and happy,But now forgotten.A tall wooden house on one side of the road,Seems to beckon him to go inside,As if it once held many people in its walls,Who went away,And left it forgotten.The road is of dirt,But […]

Walking closer to the shoreThe smell of fresh airReminds meI touch the water it is warmWarm as the sun reflecting off onto my faceIt reminds meThe lake is as still as glassA duck quickly lands and it breaks out into ripplesOnly to remind meI get my gear and hop into the kayakI too break the […]
