shine!
92/365: shine!
you see the world through your window
you don't even go outside anymore
you don't have to be frozen
you don't have to be broken tonight
you hide your heart in the shadows
so afraid to open up to anyone
but i can see…

lost frequency
36/365: lost frequency
everyone is walking on the edge of life
like a ghost of a shadow, barely alive
even time’s in a rush
but it’s going nowhere
everyone’s connected but no one is connecting
the human element has long been missing

black and white.
light and dark.
but i am gray.

Call of The Wild
8/365: Call of The Wild
When we hear the wild call - are we listening?
When we feel mother nature's heartbeat - do we respond?
When we see majestic untamed beauty - do we give respect?
