The sun sets on another day
I watched Sunset while driving home from an open mic night. The skies were full of amazing Shadows and spectacular clouds. Many of them looked like Giant whales swimming in the sky or overactive aliens preparing to land. I smiled as the pink light danced off of them and the world slowly closed in.
I love Open Mic nights as I get to see other people expressing their passions in fantastic new ways. Tonight I watched a series of spectacular performers give their feelings a new home and New Life. There was a stinger and guitar player that was more than a little fantastic. There was a poet who also sang that was shy at first but became more outgoing as she went on. There was a gentleman with a joke that made me smile and two ladies who defined Poise and passion and read poetry and verse separately with such a flare that they should be changing the world tomorrow.
At the center of it all the creators of this little event that has become a bigger and bigger event two men guided us through musical Mayhem and melodious moments. I am honest when I say that both of them are not only highly talented but spectacular individuals and their passion seeps through in everything we do.
I read three things tonight and felt good about all three. One was the theft, an early story that I did that always makes me smile. The second is a short story I wrote from a picture prompt called for the taking. It is with that story that I explored the first idea of perhaps there was more to life than what some people saw. The third was a poem called No More that was very heartfelt at least to me. I hope people enjoyed my reading and I hope that all that were there come back next time for more fun.
It is always amazing how passion can make us feel. Tonight I am full of life thanks to a small band of individuals that shared some of their passion with this all and tonight I will feel honored that I was included if only for a moment.
So as the sun sets on another day, find your passion and the people that share that passion with you. In the process remember how special you are and make the world yours tonight, tomorrow, and always, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and thank you
