    Love your voice man and you do the sad song so right. Like that accompanying acoustic fill ins…adds a nice touch to an already good song!

    Nice and truthful ! A genuine piece of soulful folk music, with pretty lines of acoustic guitar and a most touching plainness. ***

    Here’s another sad song
    that’s all I have
    I’m just getting along
    doing the best that I can

    All I know is
    wishing you were here
    And all there is
    Is sitting here alone

    I was wrong
    and now I pay the price
    of lonely days
    and sleepless nights
    I was wrong
    and I’ve acted quite the fool
    It’s like I set out all along
    to just be mean to you

    They judge me so hard
    They say that I’m no good
    And I’m sorry doesn’t have
    the ring that it should
    and missing you
    is the price that I have to pay
    I’m so sad that it turned out this way.

    So here’s another sad song
    It’s the best I can do
    and I’m just getting along
    missing you

    Holmium, poem from the “Periodic Table of Poetry” series by Chicago poet Janet Kuypers

    by

    Holmium

    Janet Kuypers

    from the “Periodic Table of Poetry”” series (#67, Ho)
    7/18/13

    Got a set of poetry word magnets
    (so you could arrange words on your fridge
    to write a message, or write a poem),
    and even though I remembered
    that magnets have two sides with two poles,
    I still took one of the magnets
    (I think the word on this magnet was “stick”)
    and turned it around, to see
    how it wouldn’t stick to the fridge.

    Now, Holmium has the highest
    magnetic strength of any element,
    so I thought about this magnet’s poles —
    but I didn’t know that scientists
    have been using Holmium
    to try to discover the widely theorized
    and avidly debated “magnetic monopole”
    (a magnet that only has one pole).
    Grand unified and superstring theories
    predict their existence, and these
    magnetic monopoles could explain a ton
    about space, time, and the laws of physics.
    But the theory is that there’s so little of it,
    and nobody’s been able to even find it,
    so they’ll keep using this magnetic Holmium
    to try to find this hypothetical particle…

    And it’s strange, when it comes to Holmium,
    I mean, it’s used to color cubic zirconia…
    And when it comes to that magnetism,
    Holmium can even absorb nuclear neutrons.
    But the cool thing is that Holmium
    is used for dental and medical purposes,
    and it’s even used with solid state lasers
    to remove some early stage cancers
    with only a local anesthetic.

    Wow, that
    and it can help scientists
    understand more about the universe
    (even if it’s only on a quantum level).

    I guess there was a reason why
    I was so drawn to these qualities….
