Brownie's Version: Poems and Prose

Welcome to Brownie's Version, the place where I offer up my take on things through memoir, poems, song lyrics that haven't been recorded, or anything else I feel drawn to setting down. So often I find myself telling stories in my head as if I'm talking to a good friend about what I find fascinating. I have a big desire to lasso these thoughts and share them. I've been imagining this platform for quite awhile so it feels good to be venturing forth using this medium. Thank you for reading!

The Sound Carries
The sound carries you
carries me
carries us
through eternity
turn turn
turn around
greet the harmony
