My heart broke as I listened to Chuck’s story
His childhood with his father was the stuff of tragedies
He recounted being beaten frequently, often over the smallest of things
It made him a hard man he admitted honestly, but later in life he’d bleed all that residual pain into poetry
Seems that was the best way he knew to set it free

Inspired by a fellow poet’s biography
Dylan’s voice rang out like thunder as he’d read his poetry, he wasn’t actually shouting, it just was deep and booming naturally
Like it was made for exactly that very thing
It was so strange and yet somehow, incredibly soothing, and to this day I love hearing his old recordings they’re timeless treasures to me

Oh Christina that stunning Ashland Kentucky voice touches my soul
I’ve been listening to you since I was just a few years old and the poetry in your lyrics, girl, it’s some of the best I’ve ever heard
I can feel every ounce of passion you pour into every word

I got a notice that traffic was up on this blog. I’m thrilled with that, and anyone or anything that’s responsible for the boost, I’m very thankful for.
Couple still dances together like they did the night that they were wed, they are so connected, in each other’s heart and head
They took their vows seriously as well they should, and the life and Love they have together, oh it’s been more than good
With every heartbeat, every breath they take, they live each day to the fullest,
They don’t hold back or hesitate, they don’t let anything go to waste together

Our struggles don’t have to poison the well
When we’ve been through things that burn like hell, we don’t have to let them destroy us
Maybe, just maybe they taught us things so that we can help others who have been there too and need the story we lived to tell

It’s around 7 a.m, and I’m at it again, writing out another rhyme, I’m in no hurry, I figure why rush? It’s better when I take my time
We’ve had a couple blackouts here lately, and frankly it’s grating my nerves, especially when I am in the middle of something, that really brings out the grr’s
I could let it drive me TOTALLY mad, but I’m hoping instead just that they end when the weather gets better, because that surely would make my heart glad

Leland Jack’s on his way back home finally
He’s been on the road driving rigs way too long,
and he’s gotten so weary,
He says “One last supper from a sack is about all that I can stand”
By 6 a. m. he’ll be eating homemade biscuits with his wife Diane, and it will be grand

If you’re down for a moment, or even a season, I can relate to you, I’ve at times been there too,
but don’t let that moment or season forever steal the joy and peace from you, in the end if you hold on, you will make it through

The tongue is strong enough to break a heart, or help one to mend
There is a precious beauty in a great hug from a friend
Though this world is fallen, broken,
On God’s Love we can depend
