Lyrics Post: “Bravado”

Yet another RUSH song, yet more sounds and words the soak deep into me over and over again. It fortifies me. "Bravado" "If we burn our wingsFlying too close to the sunIf the moment of gloryIs over before it's begunIf the dream is wonThough everything is lostWe will pay the priceBut we will not count …

Considering how long we’ve had our refrigerator, pretty stoked the ice maker started working again. Considering these old boots, they still come on handy when I’m working around the yard.

Haiku Start: The Just Shall Gaze

From the Book of John, The Just shall stand upright, yea, But what, who is just? Indeed who determines what is just, who behaves justly? The sixty-four dollar question, for sure. Who is just, and when is just action called for? Always, the easy answer; hard to come by sometimes, most times. When you’re stuck …
