Can't Hold You Back
A poem by Jason Morton
Does one simply dance with the devil out of spite and forget about their soul
In the middle of the night does one feel this spirit screaming let's roll
Stand your ground while you're weak in the knees
To take what is yours without bothering to say please
Remember the battles won and lost
Accept your place in history despite that massive cost
Can you challenge the distractions and push thru to the end
Trying to convince the world of your way of thinking or at least to bend
I know not one of you that's afraid of the dance
Only the weak at heart scurry away like ants
Never before and never again will you be distracted by can't

I have always enjoyed writing and exploring new ideas, new beliefs, and the dreams that rattle around inside my head. I have enjoyed the current state of science, human progress, fantasy and existence and write about them when I can.

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.

Strength of conviction, never wavering, living & standing for what you believe. But is there any room for learning, for admitting we were wrong, for grace & repentance?
