Hello friends, and welcome. This write is a dedication, one of many I have wrote over the years. To friends, family, and colleagues, and to others who continue to inspire me to be steadfast, and be more creative in all that I do. How do you thank someone for such a thing? By giving back, of yourself...even if only in the written word. This piece is for Lori aka "Knoit Poet." This piece has a place in my heart...it speaks. This piece was a collaborative effort, of which you will see by the authors credits. Originally done in early Feb. 2011, I had no idea this piece would take on the life it did. All the art work you see was done by me, from scratch. I wanted to create a "stationary" that would compliment this piece, I hope I did it justice. I am grateful, so grateful, to be able to do this one thing for sister Lori. Life is short my friends, so very short. May we use our time wisely.
It's a long hard road but the road I'm on
Tracing my steps through the rights and wrongs
Leaving the blues for a brand new song
But it still sounds just like the blues
Smokey acrid lucid notes
At the top of the highest cloud the music floats
Streaming arpeggios apropos'
Let the melodies carry me along
But if ever I get the slightest chance
To find someone with the music I’d dance
Just look in my eyes and take my hands
Such sweet songs you would hear
Like nightingales or meadowlarks
A sweet bird of paradise the one that was lost
Looking for the melody no matter the cost
I just want to dance once more
I would sing of the way that your love set me free
Scribe to my heart your song so complete
Lay down my vows let them rest at your feet
The finest chords are so delicate and sweet
So delicate and sweet indeed

I just want to thank all of you for coming by and wish you all the very best that life has to offer. Never let the music stop and never let the dancing end.
