Inching Closer to You
A Light for Closed Eyes
Time and the sun have weathered this old mind
The body highlights every ache and pain
Complaints are silenced thoughts withheld behind
Lips shut closed, fight to speak your name again
The orchids still surround our empty bed
Their pleasant fragrance perfumes stories old
When you would always render this face red
Revealing your pearls, letting praise unfold
Soft sunlight painted you in golden hues
Inspiring novice brushwork to mature
Your silky amber hair collecting views
Warm tones uncover beauty’s fresh allure
Adventures you led highlight my life’s space
Awaiting life’s release to your embrace

Four Playlist Ideas For You
Creating a playlist is like sculpting a statue. It’s something that you created something personal to you and has your staple of what defines you.

But how often do you think about going a little bit farther in creating a playlist? There are driving playlists, "getting ready" playlists, and songs for the broken heart playlists.
