Melody

...I tossed and turned between the blue and cream striped comforter that dons my midnight refuge. the sheets trapped, and the images pelted me...though i fought against their onslaught. yet in the daylight hours they evade.
What's all this about dreams, anyway? Are my waking processes argumentativly rendering incomplete freedoms gained beyond a realm so thought of as reality?
It feels good to let go and let one's soul pour out through the symphony of a six string...
(God is always Good.)

Q: What can you tell us about the Music downloads section?
A: Well, the first song is "I Am Redeemed". It's one of Mik's favorites of my home-solo projects. I get creative and get into the old Acid-Pro. This was one of my firsts...and still favorite. It was written in sort of a trance-style, integrating some techno stuff. HolyFire is another one of those written on Acid-Pro. I sometimes get into that program...

Q: And the rest?
A: The others (with the exception of "New Creation") are from a project with my brother Jerry. "Joy! (unspeakable here...)" features my little nieces screaming at the top of their lungs!

"driving down the PCH"

a red-tail hawk dodges raindrops
over a pasture sparsely decorated
in colorful splashes
near the briny beach.
i can't help but wonder,
as the highway passes by
'neath the rumbling rubber
and the sprinklets
spattering upon glass
what it must feel like
to fly...

"Per Se"

Words cannot express lonliness...
no matter how hard they try.
There is no logical deduction
offering solution.
Philosophy
cannot explain away the pain I see
of the lost in a
blind
oblivious
world.
So,
I have discovered the answer to the question,
"WHY?"
(Is this all there is?
This,
and then we die?)
No, Life is
somtimes living through the pain...
and, learning,
to Live is Christ.
To die...
Gain.
