Living, Loving,Feeling Falling

The woods were quiet but not silent. The wind carried memories between the branches. The leaves murmured things forgotten. And the one who walked did not speak, for there was no need. Words had grown heavy in the world they left behind.

They followed no path, only instinct. Drawn ever onward by something unseen. Sometimes, in the distance, a pair of eyes would watch. Gentle, deep, unafraid. And each time, they would follow.

Nights came soft and cold. They lit fires of fallen limbs and watched the sparks rise like lost voices. In the crackle and hush, they remembered. Not in sharp pictures but in feelings—the warmth of someone’s hand, the sound of laughter in another life. It hurt, but sweetly. Like a scar, you no longer mind touching.

Then, one night, beneath a sky woven with stars, the deer came close.

It did not run. It did not speak. But in its stillness was an answer.

The one who walked understood. Some things are not meant to be held, only followed. Some healing does not come in circles but in long, quiet lines through wild places.

They did not return. But the forest remembers them.

And sometimes, if the wind is just right, and you are very still, you may hear footsteps among the leaves—not lost, not wandering.

Just walking.

Whispers Without a Sound

A collection of original songs written 1967 to 1982 and recorded in 2024-25.  I view my music as a blend of classic genres although distinctly folk-based.

The vibrations of the desert take you into a reflective and soothing meditation to clear your mind and connect you to the elements.

Depart From Me- The Life of Peter

When The Sun Goes Down

Siempre Olvidados stands as both an extension of Forgotten Boys / Niños Olvidados and its own powerful statement. While deeply connected to the themes of the album, this EP carves out its own lane—a raw, emotional, and unapologetic journey through struggle, ambition, and resilience.

Sus Ojitos ft. 7 Cent

It’s your smile and your eyes
I think they’re green, you say they’re blue
Your laughter and your sparkle
The everything of you

Under Your Wing
