Joy in Independence

Since today marks the beginning of a new year, I thought this would be a good poem to mark the occasion. Happy New Year, everyone!

Bound

Bound in silver chains, Hidden in a gilded cage, I yearn to be free

The Ink of My Story

Dense shadows dance upon the snow white page in an elegant waltz, Giving life to the story my soul holds, A priceless gem that gleams bright for eternity

Tethered

Connected by the crimson thread Of an unknown fate, Two souls tethered as one, But separated by the world

Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. and His Legacy

There is so much to be learned from Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy. Although progress has been made over the years, there's still so much more to be done. We need to continue pressing for positive change and betterment for our world, for ourselves, for our family and friends, for all those who have been wronged. We need to keep Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy alive, always. So today, and every day, let's remember the world he dreamed of and work to make it a reality.
