True colors

Performance of Pabo group 3C 

Thank you all so very much
for letting your true colors shine through
spreading them around
so more people see the importance
and the right to be equal
no matter what color you are
inside and out…

Merry Christmas

Dark blanket of clouds
So heavy with snow
Wind slicing through skin
Head bowed down low

A candle burns softly
spreading waves of light
Home is Christmas' spirit
Loved ones at your side

Fight - for YoYo

Like a predator it waited
For the wrong moment to hit
Striking when nobody watched
Then sneaking in, bit by bit

You didn't know this visitor
Who came in without invite
It ate away your defenses
Your body left in blight

Energy drained, fever up
Something was all wrong
Cursed mysterious stranger
With influence so strong

Identification made it clear
The intruder wanted to stay
But proud and strong
You started on your way

The way back to health
Isn't paved with roses at the start
Chemo aggressive took hold
threatened to tear you apart

Fighting with body and mind
Despair and hope alternated
One day up, the other down
And still we all waited

We stay in touch
Through cards, texts and calls
Sending our friendship and love
While winter almost wins from fall

Unique compassion and wisdom
Plus lots of humor on top of that
Your door was always open
Understanding to be had

We miss you dear YoYo
And admire your resolve
You will be back with us all
We need you to stay involved

Please fight for us my friend
Keep that hope alive and strong
In silence and word we are with you
to walk your road, however long


With love,
~Marion

Sailor ashore

The waves in your blood will flatten out
Leaving silence and calmness in stead
But the sea still beckons you and soon
You'll follow her call into the open ahead

Home

Being with you feels cloaked
Just like the warm blanket
You wrapped me in last night
When I felt cold on the couch

Your presence surrounds me
With love and attention
In your company I'm free
Able to simply be myself

You accept me the way I am
Like I cradle your soul
And you encourage me
To follow my dreams

Always needed to have time
To be alone, to be on my own
And now I want to live with you
Share your days and nights

Your place and mine
Provide us with two houses
But no matter where we are
My home lies with you

Your way

Dearest brother mine
Your face shimmers before my eyes
A sentiment floats in the air
Filled with sad goodbyes

How I understand your emptiness
your questions, hopes and despair
Going over facts and memories
Just wishing she were there

Impossible to change what's going on
I can't bring her back to you
She's firmly made up her mind
And to her course will stay true

It's time for you to find a way
To proudly walk on your own
But I will be here to listen
whenever you feel alone...

We will meet again!

Welcome to launch of the Gaslight Demons Virtual Book Tour! I’m your hostess, Gloria Weber, author of Gaslight Demons, published by Morbidgames Publishing. Don’t be alarmed! Marion is quite aware of the fact I’m here. And, once again, I would like to say thanks to Marion for allowing me to guest post here.

Now that the shock has worn off, you might be asking yourself, “What is a virtual book tour?” Well, that’s what I plan on explaining today.

Let us get the obvious out of the way first: the goal of a virtual book tour is to get word out to people about a book. In this case, Gaslight Demons, published by Morbidgames Publishing, written by me, Gloria Weber. And yes, shameless plugging is also a part of it.

Now most of you might be familiar with the traditional book tours, where an author goes from book to bookstore, maybe even visiting a library or two. A virtual book tour is somewhat like that, but instead of bookstores the author pops up on other people’s blogs or websites. The author then spews some bit of wisdom and, when appropriate, shamelessly plugs her book.

No, I’m not doing it again. I know you got the idea by now.

So, why would any sane person do this? Generally, it is done as a form of cross promotion. I’m not just writing this post and forgetting about it. Everyone I know is hearing about me being here on this blog. And you, Marion’s faithful followers, are getting to hear about the Gaslight Demons Virtual Book Tour.

Quite simple, isn’t it?

With the explanation done, I must now return to shameless plugging. If you would like to know more about me, where I’ll be virtually book touring next, or where to buy Gaslight Demons visit: http://gloriaweber.wordpress.com If you are into pen and paper role playing games, you may also want to check out my publisher, Morbidgames Publishing: http://www.morbidgames.com/ Thank you, for your time.
