We’re the ones
who didn’t stay,
just kinda wanted
to go our own way.
Those who stayed
are still mostly the same,
and nobody really knows
who we became.
Cause when you don’t stay,
they just don’t know,
and who you were
becomes a distant show.
We took a leap
and found an open door,
and what we discovered
couldn’t be more.

I can’t wait to see the world
stretched out at my feet
and lose myself to love,
getting lost in your heartbeat.
I need the air I breathe
to be shared only by you
and for you to come away
and have all of this too.
I want to see the road ahead
go on forever,
taking you with me
on every endeavor.
I need to spend my whole life
with you by my side
because wherever you are
is where my heart resides.

Life was forever bliss
under that strawberry sky.
Intertwined, we remained,
just you and I.
Caught up in imaginings
only we could see.
Keeping each other’s secrets
and running free.
Making love on that sandy,
secluded shore.
Every delicious desire
was ours to explore.

Hello everyone,
Today I’m pleased to announce the release of a new favorite children’s book of mine, “Tales from the waterhole, by Michael Coates. I had the privilege of editing this book for Michael, and I’m so excited to see it in print at last! There’s nothing quite like seeing someone’s words finally come to life, and I can’t wait to get my copy. Michael has released his book in four different formats. I have listed the links below if any of you are interested in buying a copy for yourself.
Have a wonderful week!

Here is the link to the specialized hardcover version on Lulu.
Or, if you’re a fan of Amazon, you can buy the book in three different formats over there, with an audible version coming soon.
Please leave comments for Michael by clicking here.
The lazy days of summer
are by and by, fading away;
I hear it as the breeze
sashays through the trees.
Wind chimes join the waltz,
each elegant note
sounding the arrival
of crisp fall days ahead.
The sweet serenade
brings inner peace
and infuses my spirit
with the sound of serenity.
