This is a collection of songs I’ve written, on topics such as love, rebellion, hope, pain, oppression, solidarity, desire, and more.

This is just a place where I keep some of the poetry I’ve written over the years. Some of it is about me, some of it is about my friends, family, and loved ones. Some of it is about people I’ve never met. Some of it is about stories I’ve heard over the course of my life. There are many themes throughout, but the tying theme is universal equality and true liberation.

This is just a collection of some of the poems I’ve written over the years, about the many emotions, dreams, desires, and destinies inherent to existing in this world. I write about the many ways the world around us affects us and how we in turn affect it.

|OLDER DRAFT|

Lost in the depths of the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park, Ranger Kates meets a mysterious hermit who may very well have a connection with the decade-old legend of the Ghost of Ontario.

***

Ranger Kate wants only one thing: to see her son, whom she lost to a canoe accident ten years ago. The opportunity comes when she and her partner, Ranger Amelia, attend the 24-Hour Ghost of Ontario Challenge in the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park. Legend has it that a ghost haunts it with his mysterious lullaby, "Lucilla", and the only way to connect with him is for two individuals to brave the lakes.

Ihaan never expected to find Ranger Kate on Red Squirrel Lake, said to be the birthplace of the ghost. He and his eagle friend, Ro, band together to win her trust, which is crucial for Ihaan's Guardian Trial. It's the only way for him to learn whether he is truly dead or not.

Fate turns to reality, and suddenly, the legend of the ghost is more real than Ihaan and Kate think. What will happen when the Spirit Animals come and try to interfere with their long-lost memories? Will Kate and Ihaan defeat them, or will they lose themselves to the hands of Ontario's Beast?

*Ihaan is pronounced "I-an".*

*Based on a canoeing trip I took with my family to Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park!*

In the burrows of the NightmareWhere Justice naked is,life watches from the shadowAnd the stars go squawkingbut Life remains a blessingNo winter without a springbeyond the dark horizon a brighter dayFor those who leave us for a whileOut of a restless, care worn worldOur hearts will once more singa sun will always singand a sky will carry our heart into stars.

I am a dreamer, with aspirations that reach for the distant stars. I imagine all ascended possibilities beyond the mere conscious mortal constraints of reality, envisioning a better future and striving to manifest it through my actions.

These are the lyrics to songs that I've written. Mostly about the struggle for universal liberation.

There is a land by faith I’ve seen

Where skies no clouded regions know;

Where they know not the sorrows of time

and no shadows fall to blight the view

That land no want has ever known,

Nor pain nor sickness nor distress;

there, Death, the last enemy, is slain;

There those who meet shall part no more,

And those long parted meet again.

There’s a land far away..

Beyond these wild winds and gloomy skies,

Beyond Death’s cloudy portal,

There is a land where beauty never dies

And love becomes immortal;

A land whose light is never dimmed by shadow,

Whose fields are ever vernal,

Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,

But blooms for aye eternal.

Tears that is not visible to the naked eye,silent screams that no one can hear,

feeling of relentless distress,

Trapped with nowhere to turn,life is changing beyond our control,

someone else is pulling the strings,causing this deep ache in the bottom of our soul.

but remember, for every soul there is a soul that touches yours –Be it the slightest contact –

always there is a gleam of faith in the darkening sky;always there is a glimpse of brigther skiesTo brave the thickening ills of life;To make this life worthwhile.
