The Shove

I wished on a star
but it fell in the night
I nurtured my faith
but beliefs all died
I see all the smiles
but I feel all the pain
I live in no prison
yet I am bound in chain
I lost the question
to an answer I know
I climbed to the top
and came out below
I never gamble
yet still bet it all
I muted my ghosts
but they proceed to call
I live in the present
but it's already past
I'd take it in slowly
but it moves too fast
I reach for the heavens
but touch only ground
I am not missing
but I'll never be found
I swim in my youth
but drown in my age
I owe life no tears
yet forever I pay

some of it trifle
maybe arcane
all of it a shove
as I
fall
away

Hi brother, hit a rough patch a couple of months ago and am still digging out of it you could say. It really put me behind on things, I am struggling to keep up. I hope your book is doing well, I plan to pick it back up as soon as I get things back to even keel. How is promotion? are you doing the blog radio thing? Mine is in 2 weeks, yikes! Haha

I'm sorry to hear about your rough patch. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
The book is going OK. It sells one or two every few days. I got a blog tour starting tomorrow but what is "blog radio?"

Kalynn Campbell Thank you my brother, it's just part of that E-ticket adventure we call 'life'... Blog tour? Awesome, I wish you great success! I've been trying to find time to organize one myself, please let me know how it goes. Be sure to add this to your tour (blog radio book interview), I will tune in for sure:

Hayden Linder It looks like he dropped out of the group, so I guess I'm not doing radio. What's the date for yours so I can catch it?


message 6: by Kalynn (new)

Kalynn Campbell Maybe try going to the radio blog and drop him a line, he might have something open in a few months. My interview is Sat June 13th at 10 am eastern time but the interview will posted on the site as a link after the actual recording (and on my publishers blog)so sleep in. How did blog tour kick off go? Is there a tour schedule where I can follow your book promos?

Hayden Linder We hit the first date yesterday and she is a little slow so far.
