  • Up to Me

    When I hear this song and the words are sung it touches a cord within me that I need to follow my own path – time is running out for me and I must stay true to me. No one else can truly understand – I guess its gonna be up to me.

  • My Big One

    If I could I would, if I could I would have a beautiful lady stand above you and to soften your hardened self. If I could free you of the stiffening sense that can sometimes cause pain, I would rub you and feather you to health and to peace. You stand among smaller ones and…

  • This Pain

    Its funny how a rain in the spring can invigorate us yet the rain in the fall leaves us wanting for home.

  • Palettes of Colors

    I walk along the streets, hands in pockets, eyes absorbed on the Palettes of Colors. Too warm for snow but too cold for leaves and they fall from the trees. Another cup of coffee please…

  • Innocent – set me free

    I am on the wet streets tonight, reflections of an old man in a stained glass. The river runs beside me and a lost dog cries out for love. I am searching for answers – looking up above.

  • Invisible Man

  • Soundtracks of My Life – Bob Dylan

    One day I had the nerve to switch sides and put the album on side 2. My life changed… “Mr. Tambourine man.” I closed my eyes and listened to him and I was mesmerized; Then take me disappearin’ through the smoke rings of my mind Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen…

  • Elton John (Soundtracks from my Life)

    His songs continue to be the soundtrack of my life; “Something about the way you look tonight” was my wedding song and his “Songs from the West Coast” remains as one of my favorite and most listened to albums. His “The Captain and the Kid” album was the sequel to “Captain Fantastic” album from 31…

  • Jose Fernandez – This is Not how It was supposed to End

    Jose Fernandez was a pitcher who could tell you what pitch he would throw and still make you look like a fool trying to hit it. He possessed an exuberance and a passion in each step he took that was effervescent and alive.
