I shared this last year.

Eagle Rock September 11th Memorial

Today we honor the brave men and women of the police, first responders and fire fighters, who sacrificed theirs lives to save others, and of course their four legged furry friends.

Yet, 16 17 Years later, Freedom still stands! We will not be defeated! America, One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All!!

God bless the men and women, our first responders, who care not for themselves, but for the lives of all of us. Respect and honor them every day. ❤

Sleep escapes me

 

Dare I close my eyes?

 

Only to fade into the darkness, that
Suffocates my soul, terrorizes my mind
Thrashes against my being, until I
No longer fight it, but welcome it
Draw it further into my heart, let it
Rip me apart, tear at me, and I
Locked in a cocoon of sweat, succumb
To the sweetness that is the night
The passion and desire of the dark
Knowing, eventually, I will awaken…

 

I will, won’t I?

I watch as summer fades to past, and autumn shows her face, and yet, as autumn colors Earth, winter comes so fast. No more warmth, nor sunny days, snow white mountains fill the sky; gold and red do fade away, and all I can do is sigh. Too quickly do the seasons change, one by one, they disappear; and feelings that are ever strange, within me, quite austere. But I will stand atop this rock, hear the winds call my name; open my mind, breathe in, take stock, let the mountains, my soul, reclaim
