...for a while.

To: Anyone who has ever read this blog.

From: Me

I am thankful that you have, at one time or another, found your way here to read the things that I felt called to write. As of late I have been thinking more and more about joining together a collection of my works in an attempt to publish. I am unsure right now as to what that looks like exactly but I am excited about it. So, due to this new venture, I will no longer be posting any new writings here (for now). Thank you for reading. Thank you for thinking. Thank you for believing.

French Fries on Sunday

French fries in my car

on a Sunday afternoon.

My radio on.

Listening to a trumpet play

along with a piano and a clarinet.

This is a good day.

What was my name?

How long have I known you?
For how long have we spoken?

Was there ever a time that I watched you work?
Was there ever a time that I looked upon your face?
Have I known your voice?
Perhaps a time when my entrails would no have
wound up on the grass from the sound of it?

What was I like in the "Before time began"?

Did I listen?
Was I polite?
Did I use my ears and eyes well?

Did I sit at your feet when you told stories of dreaming up stars?

What was my name?
What did you call me by?

When you looked upon me, what did you see?

When I looked upon you, did I squint?
What did you think of me?

Were you well pleased with me?

Do you remember me?
Can you recall my breath?

Have I done well?

Have I been brave enough?

Am I the man that you thought I'd become?

Sometimes, I wish I could remember.
Sometimes, I wish we could sit and catch up.
I suppose you don't need that though.
