Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;You see, you closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too--even when you&rsquo;re in the dark. Even when you&rsquo;re falling.&rdquo; <br /> ― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie


He came like a pulse in a metronome;
ticks in an accurate measure.

"Why are you breathing?" he asked,



"Your music sends an elongated note,

when I am on my cloud of uncertainties,


while I tremble in the complexity of my own bones,


I found solace in your music that resonates,


and it doesn't suffocate inside.

Then I was engulfed in the epiphany,

For your kind assurance that I won't transverse alone anymore" she replied.

There is a rapture in the beauty of his sung words,
Gentle like a ballad on the boulevard.
There were splattered ink on his shoulder blade,
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light"

He isn't Ed Sheeran or John Mayer,
but a guy passionately strumming his guitar,
Not consumed in the clamor of an entrancing glamour,
No one but the epitome of a manly grandeur.

A New Year's poem inspired by a friend who had dedicated his soul to music and he has always been there through thick and thin and I couldn't be anymore grateful for his presence and friendship.
