Moving in the right direction ~>

Progress is being made. Can you feel it?
Slowly, but surely this world is changing.
One person, one state, or one country at a time...
I see how possible it is for this world to know peace.

Today, I am especially ecstatic about the goings on in the state of California.
Though I live in Kentucky, and this new allowance does not directly effect me, it does greatly affect me. I am speaking of the occurrences regarding the official first day of legalized same-sex marriages that took place yesterday (Tues. June 17,2008) in California.

For thousands of couples in that state, it was a time to finally have that moment they had dreamed of for years. It sounds very simple a thing to have- marriage. However, for many people in many places it is still but a distant dream.

Picture it: Gathering your family and friends together in one place at a special time
Announce your love to the world and solidify your commitment to your partner
Become husbands or wives in the eyes of God, the government, and the people
Feeling loved, respected, proud, romantic, affectionate and validated as a couple

This is what I wish for same-sex couples everywhere.
Let your voice be heard.
You deserve it too.
Get active.
Support organizations that fight for your rights.
It is our responsibility to make the world a better place for ourselves and for future generations.

Love is worth it.

Loss of him

From the depths of my soul Come hunger for more love And thirst for more healing. For so long I have ached From a loneliness wound Though loving friends And abundant family surround. In the light of day In the black of night I work on dealing. For so long this wound Held prisoner my focus Though the ache not acute Nothing else could be found. Feared alone in my pain Life seemed to be my sentence For crimes I'd forgotten or never done. This drink of depression Though not my own vice Was the weapon Rage used to bring innocense down. As I've grown quite aware, A tension leaves the air When I realize I'm not alone anymore. For the wrath was brought down Making no waves for himself Because help made no sound. So I gather my memories up for now. As loss takes it's toll Away all the years go When I vow to keep only the good. These memories somehow Seem to hold more value now Than they did when they were new This great pretender leaves without a bow. I may have his blood And h
