Azure skies call me.
I search them for your laughter—
You did not come home.

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.

So sorry
gorgeous work Scott...
This deserves to be a top story.
This is incredibly moving, Scott. Sorry for your loss.
What a wonderful poem. Fantastic job
Oh Scott. No words. My heart goes out to you. A wonderfully sincere and deeply moving haiku. ❤
Hampton is beautiful young man. Gone wsy too soon. Your heartbreaking words pierce my heart. Prayers for you and Hampton.
Such a wonderful tribute to your son. These truthful, raw moments of love like this lets them live on, if only in your heart, which matters the most. While thank you is not nearly adequate, I am grateful for his service. I am so very sorry for your loss, Scott.
