Centuries ago
In another life
I dreamed of this moon
Purple and luminous
Shinning brightly for you and me
We held hands
Dancing in the sand
Our toes tangled in the grains
Paying homage to our home
The path long gone
Singing the songs of our youth
Playing the instruments of our souls
Swaying in the breeze
Like the free leaves that we are
Laughing as the waves kissed or hems
Daring the fire to come near
I missed us then
The us I never even knew

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
