Poetry by me…
The Sound
the sound of sound was a mechanical noise
one that brought thunder to the air
drifting through the hour glass of time
so many worlds that did not care
the sound of sound burst into light
causing tears to stream down his face
was it the watchmaker that had returned
or perhaps, just a god lost in space
the sound of sound stretched far and wide
creating galaxies filled with life
first came planets, moons, and stars
then from the dust, husband and wife
it was the sound of sound
that created you and I
a family of the universe
the children from the sky
Friday, 12/19/2014
Poetry by me…
Dreams
A dream is laughter on the edge of a razor,
a sorrow in the midst of a storm
A dream is a song that sings in the heavens,
a celestial sonata of ethereal form
A dream is a trance that travels in summer,
a nightmare that dances in the dark
A dream is a shadow in the corner of your eye,
one that possesses you but never leaves a mark
But most of all…
a dream is a ghost that makes no sound
one that drips madness,
while holding you down
Finally sat for the Server 2012 R2 certification.
Me at Seminole State College before test.
I made a 900/1000…not too bad. The next cert will be Windows 10 when it becomes available.

Poetry by me…
Lost
Rhyme and reason fall prey to treason
In a land of the free, only the blind can see
I gazed to the skies, and observed the past
the spells of the gods, that did not last
First it was Hera, and the Milky Way
Then mortals on crosses, grotesquely portrayed
The evolution of it all, wrapped in divinity
prayers to a sun, and a holy trinity
The quest of a man, forgotten in time
lost in a universe, lost in a rhyme
Trapped in a path, around a star
never to know, who you are
In the end, I stand alone
looking up, before turning to stone
