ShareReading Boy
A quiet room
In which to look
A young boy hefts
A curious book
The cover brilliant
And pages light
His intentions are fixed
On this beckoning sight
Page by page
His imaginations soar
His feet once grounded
Now leave the floor
A new world thrills
His every sense
A book transforms
To magic from hence

ShareChosen was he, but lost he became
When fear led to anger, to hatred, to blame

Darkened. Lost. [...]
ShareWell, that’s it. We’re in. I looked this morning and announced on the website were the names of my mother, my sister, three friends and I. I’ve always dreamed and hoped to do a marathon, but this is it. Let the races begin.
Discipline
Courage
Humility
Honor
St. George Marathon

Gently he fluttered down
Patient he was for my call
Just then, a moment of silence overcame
and in that moment I felt meaning
Yet feared I still the time of its departure
No heed gave he to my lack of faith
A smile was all it took to sooth
A gentle smile, how bold, how pure
Doubt acknowledged defeat
And there I sat [...]
ShareRising slowly, ever slowly
I’m calmed by this steady pace
Growing, ever growing
Illumination taking place
Simple yet elegant
Gentleness with grace
Ignorant of attention
Yet brilliance dawns her face
A meeting
A moment
A victor
A crown
