BRIGIT'S FLAME WEEK 2 ENTRY SEPT-- ETERNAL
Death is Eternal
Death is Eternal
Below it-
Spadacinno’s Funeral Home.
The words were blurred, but they were profound.
The sign, a morbid workplace joke, hung over the morgue freezer door.
He groaned loudly and tried to turn on to his side, he could not.
I’m alive!
He needed someone to address that fact ASAP. He’d shout it if he could
but at the ( Read more... ) -
BRIGIT'S FLAME WEEK 1 ENTRY- SEPT - MUD
What’s In a Name?
“Mudunique!”
Oh, how she hated the name.
The horribly constructed monstrosity of an excuse for a girl’s name, had to be the worst name ever.
Or at the very least, if not number one on the list, surely it would be one of the top ten worst in the whole world.
How could a person with even the least bit of God given sense name their ( Read more... ) -
Brigit's Flame Writing 3rd Entry-- WEEK OF 8/18/08- CANARY IN A COAL MINE
Before thee.
Before thee.
I am risen and I go.
I take the blows.
I know.
Before thee, I’m more now then before.
I go before thee.
You know me.
All you can’t see is me.
Before thee.
Down beneath the earth to mine your worth.
Digging in the dark I leave my mark upon thee.
An uncaged song of golden hue,
to renew,
and release,
and complete thee.
Freedom in flight in ( Read more... ) -
Brigit's Flame Writing 2nd Entry-- WEEK OF 8/11/08
BRILLIANCE
If they were giving out awards for being clever, the boy had decided, he-wouldn’t go to a ceremony to collect it.
His grandfather had told him, that they were after the brilliance in him. That there weren’t many smart people around anymore-and that he, Elias Whitford L. Cranberry, was the smartest little boy in the world. Now when he was ( Read more... ) -
Brigit's Flame Writing Entry-- WEEK OF 8/4/08
He spotted her.
He didn’t like that he still got butterflies. Even after nearly a year. Like she had some power over him.
"You’re late." She looked sad. Him the cause, no doubt.
"I’m here, right?" His answer, he realized almost immediately, sounded like he was trying to be mean. And didn’t do much better when he added to it, "Now you’re pissed?"
"You ( Read more... ) -

REPOST of original song entry for Brigit's Flame + editor comments
If I Knew Then
I’m a whisper in the wind,
who loves you now and knew you when
On the other side, I see things clear
See, I could have thrown off foolish pride

something lost
I want my laugh back
... the one I had in my youth. I'd throw my head back and let through the pure unadulterated, uncomplicated me. Of course I didn't know that at the time. But looking back, I miss being that free in myself. Not so mature about laughing responsibly and appropriately. My laugh now, doesn't have the resonance of just being in the ( Read more... ) -
what means the most
TRUTH...
my own...
is all I'll ever know.
It's the only one I'll ever possess.
It's where all my power and joy lies.
Right there...
in TRUTH and who I am.
Now, do I have the guts to live it?
That's my challenge and my journey.
