ION INDIE MAGAZINE June 2016, Volume 25 | Page 117

It is hard to believe that two full years have gone by. ION is my home and I have been so honored to have so many unique visitors in that time. I spent quite some time sifting through the piles of parchment and went searching for all those who have spent some time in my dwelling.

I almost feel like Dave Jersey and I have been chilling this whole time, he stops by so often! My fellow Ohio musicians Jeremy, Timm, and Christian, have also kept me company on many occasions. Thank you to all that have taken part in my vision…which is only a piece of the larger vision that is ION Indie Magazine. Without music, this world would be dull and lifeless. It is for that reason that I, Chaos, dedicate my life to writing. I am sure that I shall be buried with my pen in one hand and my guitar in the other. My band has made the “Evolution” from The Factor Project to TFP. We are a fierce foursome of the exact chemical balance that is required to intrigue your mind and keep your body bouncing at the same time. I have never been so comfortable in my own journey as I am now. DIVINE By Shawn Joseph Amidst the tide of swollen tongues Feed the waves all of the undone As agony craves what once was a myth Life manifests into a gift Pain subsides below the surface Never to return, but you already know this There is no more Too much to say So many nights So little days Follow the sound that echoes within Only there can you truly begin Understand not, yet open your mind Love, life and happiness Agony divine Now the walls are growing thin and I do believe it’s that time again--if you are a writer, poet or wordsmith, won’t you join our community? We are but dreamers, yet so much more. Why fight to be heard? I will shout to the masses about your works! I want YOU to succeed, to be noticed!
