Rolling Thunder Through an Open Window

With window open rain fell as if the night sky was playing a piece from its most loved composer, a master piece. The percussionist was at her best. I don’t believe I have ever heard thunder roll for so long and so magnificently. The long last ending seemed to rattle the window one last […]

Today’s Lyrics

To make your own lyrics is to put your life to music. Every day is just a song. What do we add to it?
