­Only empty lines of a legacy from which I have learned ,
Nothing.
Yet ,I learned more than he will ever know ,for in the empty lines there were lessons to be learned.

It is so sad to not have been taught or learned anything of importance from ones father. A father who was always there but never really cared to teach his son anything.
The angels that you can and cannot see
float in and out of life so gracefully;
enfold in winged embraces one by one,
celestial comforters when day is done.
Some angels take the shapes of passers-by
so you might see the Spirit in their eyes.
A smile that lifts the day from the mundane;
a kind hand up, a loving act conveyed.
The unseen angels hover in the realm
where power manifested overwhelms
our common senses. There behind the scenes
they battle fears and reinforce our dreams.
Take counsel from a humbled man, once proud;
they only enter lives when they're allowed.
sometimes i have to breathe in,
and breathe out,
so i can remind myself not
to doubt
my existence
so i can remind myself of
the distance
between my room and my
mother's
so i can remind myself to not give her another
gray hair
so i can remind myself that
someone out there
probably does care
so that i can remind myself that
i matter,
though my heart
may shatter
and the art
within me probably
won't matter
sometimes i have to breathe in,
and breathe out,
so i can remind myself that i am alive
and that i can survive.
just breathe, you can do it.
As I lay here now near slumber
I cannot help but start to ponder
How my heart races forward
Leaving mind in starts far corner
Heart is speeding to lust but larger
Mind just sits and questions farther
Saying yes the heart goes further
Analyzing the mind still ponders
What would happen if both meet
Would my heart see my dreams
Would my mind accept heart's follow
Or would my soul be torn asunder
Even though it's dark I'm weary
I cannot rest till both state clearly
I wish upon the stars this night
Both agree this heart and mind
