I have always been writing of,
For,
And to you,
With different
Character names,
Never even knowing it,
Or that you even existed.
Blackbird

Quote, Things Faced
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. ”
— James Baldwin
Spots
We must know
What our forbearers knew,
We have forgotten,
But are not lost
It will be scary
Hard,
New,
Different
We must learn
Before our opportunity is missed;
Do not waste
Your spot
Do not waste your
immortality
The End
We avoid the light
For fear
It is the end.
Never Been
All night with the owl,
Or calling early morning with the crow,
Midday butterflies at play,
Caterpillar on journey,
Seagull in a strange land,
Dragonfly showing opal wings,
Or my familiar dog
And coy cute cat friends,
At the zoo
-From exhibit to exhibit;
At the store
-A smile from a friend I’ve yet to meet;
Alone on the beach
-With the ocean and breeze;
Or the middle of the night…
And oh yes! –Solitary moth,
I remember you!
(I never forgot),
No,
I have never,
Even “in my darkest hour”,
Ever
Been
“alone.”
