Preserverance
We've all had times, when the going gets tough The smooth ride suddenly, feels bumpy and rough The good times are gone, it's all rather gruff You let out a sigh and exclaim - "I've had enough" We are all entitled at times, to gripe and to moan...
Live life.
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all man-kind doubts you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied...
Crossroads
A crossroad stands before you, yet again A choice should be made, let's begin One to the left, "option A" per se, Another to the right, "option B" One may lead to wealth and fame, Other can grant health and time. Struggling on and on, which...
A poets peace.
A voice from the dark called out, 'The poets must give us imagination of peace, to oust the intense, familiar imagination of disaster. Peace, not only the absence of war.' But peace, like a poem, is not there ahead of itself, can't be imagined...
The Light and the Darkness of Humanity

Poem for a Friend
I just thought I'd reach out to a fellow fur in need I can relate, I know it hurts, but don't concede It can be rough, and at times, unbearable But that's why we're here, to turn the table Your friendly furs are here for you, to help you along...

Atonement
# Atonement At the gates of Hell I stand, Ready to enter as a man, Sought out by the evil here, It shall find me without fear. Upon the road of fire and bone, I'm forced to walk this path alone, Haunted by his face of sin, I begin to doubt I...
Will, Persistence, Patience, and Love (a poem)
