Guys…. We are opening a bookstore. I’ve been so busy with the logistics of everything, that I’ve been putting off updating everyone!

I hope you’ll support us! ❤️

My name is Tyler Moore.

I write books for the people who stare at the ceiling at 2 a.m.
The ones who survived things they don’t talk about.
The ones who feel too much and say too little.

Veteran.
Firefighter.
Business owner.
Author.

Most days I’m somewhere between building a future and bleeding onto a page.

If you found my work by accident,
you probably didn’t.

The Crow- By Author Tyler Moore

I once spoke to a crow on a barbed wire fence

He told me he was once a prince.

I bowed my head to the talking crow

I listened as the words flowed.

You see I had wandered away from my life

I had just lost my beloved wife.

I walked for miles into that field

All I wanted was to be healed.

My heart was broke in half

All the crow did was laugh.

He told me life was to short to be sad

That I should just smile and be glad.

I asked him what he knew of heart break

Little did I know we shared the same fate.

He let out a deep sigh and cried.

"I lost the one I loved myself, I didn't know what to do with myself."

We talked into the morning sun

Then he told me he had to run.

Then he said if you ever need a friend that he'd be here till the very end.

I walked away from that barbed wire fence as he flew away

I visited him often until my hair turned grey.

I made that walk one last time

I knew this would be my final rhyme.

I stood by the barbed wire fence for several hours, awaiting my friend

I knew this was the end.

The prince never came that early morning day

The sunshine poured out a beautiful ray.

The sun still shined upon my head

Then I heard as the other crows mourned that he was dead.

I wasn't sad

I wasn't mad

I was glad to have known such a friend until the very end.

-I am just a Crow- A poem by Author Tyler Moore

I've seen it all laid out on the board
The fall and rise of all the lords.

The battlefield really is an awful place
I fly away from it with some dignity and grace.

For I am no servant of any king or lord
Often times I'm mostly just ignored.

I am but a lonely crow
I am not even close to being considered a foe.

I've seen men fall
I've seen them crawl
I've seen them stand all mighty and tall.

War is a bitter sin
Often times up in my tree I wish it would all end.

I call out among the dead
But all I see is shades of red.

You see I'm not the reason you fight your battles
Or why you suit up and mount up on your saddles.

I once had a family even myself
Even you had one yourself.

But now you lie among the masses
Slain and laid out through the fiery ashes.

I am but a crow
I hold no bow.

And now you are gone
With the rising of the dawn.

Tis' but a bitter sweet
As you drawl out your last heartbeat.

In the end none of it even mattered
Even your flags are tattered.

I've seen it all before, here and there
I fly away from another battle into the air.

You see battles come and go
But I am simply nothing more than a crow.
