I am based on a true story, although I may never know fully what that story is. Trying to make sense of the world before me, so I might come to know eternity in a glance before we kiss.

They say it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day, and also if that’s on a Friday the thirteenth. So if those drops happen to fall in the middle of July, in the heart of artown, then the universe will have acknowledged what I already know: that I am truly a lucky creature who is ready to take what he has learned and move forward in bliss.

The rush of oncoming emotion, and the flow of life’s circuitry, coalesce into memories of childhood, actions in a melancholy present, and aspirations for a dystopian future.

May we grow through pains,
and share our voices,
so that those who come after,
will never doubt that there were storytellers who kept it real. All heart. Filled with joy and a special sound. A resonating drum. A peaceful attempt to provoke a response. A joining of soulful searchers. A people hungry and thirsty for more. Always more.

As we get we also give.
As we let we also live.
As we fret we’re still alive.
As I bet we’re all trying to thrive.

Religion teaches you to mind what you’re told,
While flicking splinters in your eyes until you can’t see.
Relationship with God and one another in love removes the blindfold,
And teaches us how we were always meant to be.

It’s not as though our options are literally written on the sky,
unless we’ve been given special eyes, the will to deny, and a penchant for asking why.
