Joy
I can’t give up my joy
The people who surrounded me
With bad intentions
Couldn’t hold up the charade that they felt joy when I succeeded
Are deleted, blocked , ignored
I’ll never see them across my screen , my mind, in my sight
Because once I know we’re not aligned
What’s the purpose of having you near?
So you can rejoice?
About me stubbing my toe

An ode to Mother Nature - The Great Giver of Life!
"Take those clothes off, you smell of outside". She quipped
A perplexing concept; an ineffable part of everyday life clinging to our clothes.
Clinging to our very beings.
From that first life affirming breath as we step out to conquer the day - in hopes of slaying invisible beasts, to the soft caress of the morning dew on bare skin.

From the connections
From the dependence
The leaves of the ...

In a Sea of Lonely Nights
A lonely boy in a sea of lonely nights
in that last hour of the day

New Friend
Bipolar one disorder. I did not flinch. Warm and genuine, I liked him right away.

Been a lawyer he had. But not the "good kind" and he gave m...
