New Creation
We live in a world of doom and gloom Even the best run places are a zoo Made up of people like me and you Earth carries on as it always has Time happens to all – no one gets a pass But even in antiquity there’s a story – a hope Of things being…

Running Lover
It’s sort of strange how people find it funOddly enough, one of them I’ve becomeI spend a lot of money on super cushiony shoesI lace them up, hit the pavement, and then cruiseBobbing up and down, forward, propelling with my arms and legsSwimming through the airDopamine surging, a good feeling – primalEvery day my heart…
