A Molding of Words

I thought it an odd, yet fun change of pace to post some poetry... in lieu of the usual smattering of words, opinions, and observations.

DEAR YESTERDAY

Minutes burn away, erasing tender moments we once shared together.
Now, only fleeting reflections of a distant past flicker their fading images on the screen of a weary mind.

Tick

It wasn’t long ago we were embraced in the arms of life, enjoying cool walks in the silvery rays of a moonlit stage.
Above us the star-speckled sky winked.
Heads would turn. Eyes would gaze with envy.
Together we shared of each other.
The world stopped its relentless turn. Seasons never changed.
Present played its Siren song, while past idled by on a park bench, lost in thought.
What we knew was what we loved, and future warmed our side.

Tick, Tick

Now gray, wintry days stretch for miles, and nights go on for years.
I long for times gone by, while future ambles off.
Past warms the bench to one side, distance spans my right.
And in the air a droning pulse resounds.

Tick, Tock

Aron: A Fine mix of Chaos and Order

I am really trying to be a more consistent poster of things. After all, what good is a blog if you never use it. On top of that, how do I expect to manage in the ever-evolving world of technology. I need to catch this bus and ride it, not just watch it go by.

I don't know why it is so difficult for me to write, maybe because I do it for a living. Which brings me to tid-bit number two. It has nearly been a year, and I must say it has been a pretty good ride...pun some what intended. Working for Larry H. Miller and the Utah Jazz has been a shear joy.

As many may or may not know, I work as the creator of Copy and Concept for LHM Advertising. I am responsible for many of the radio and TV spots you see for the many businesses of Larry H. It has been a great job. One that allows me to express my creativity in many different ways, go to Jazz games, and work out of the arena. It has also opened up new fun outlets for me and my silliness. I have included two commercial links if you would care to see them.

To add to the pile, I have been playing in the up and coming band LLoyd and Floyd and the High Octanes. You may have already seen them on TV. They are the un-official ambassadors of speed at Miller Motorsports Park. I also have a children's book that is to be published this fall, fingers crossed.

Believe it or not, I have a hard time writing a post such as this. I am not much for being too showy. I feel a little dumb doing it, but I have been asked on several occasions to share what it is I do and some of the things I have been in. I hope no one minds. If so, get over it. You knocked on my door and visited my blog, jerk. Sorry about the jerk bit; I didn't really mean it, or did I? Anyway, that and family is my life.
