//fire//
Is it surfing suns,
expelled by gasping sunspot
to lucky poet?
\\air\\
Is it in the air,
syllabic beat? When hands brush,
pulses echoing?
//water//
Is it in the ground,
sipping lukewarm well water?
Drinking from footprints?
\\earth\\
Is it there climbing
Mount Everest, breathless—
no more Sisyphus?
About the Creator

I write to invoke, to process, to honor, to resurrect, and—sometimes—to grieve but, above all, I write to be free.
Follow along for stories about a little bit of everything (i.e. nostalgia and other affairs of the heart).

Choose Your Own Adventure: St Helena Station
*****Preface***** I have been obsessed with Choose Your Own Adventure stories since I was a kid. I credit them with my love of reading and writing. I've been struggling to get my own kids to embrace words the same way I have but they love video games and our occasional Dungeon's and Dragon's game... which gave me an idea. I'll write an interactive story. So far its working; my middle son loves it and can't wait for the next section to come out.
