Personal Quote: Stevie Wonder is a musical genius who sees humanity not through his eyes but with his heart. People are the pulse of his music, and love is the melody. 

2nd in Stevie Wonder Contest (Sponsor: Karen Jones)

Judged: June 18th, 2025

as love lights in flight 
part-time couples go seeking 
shelter in the rain 

my cherry armor
don't you worry 'bout a thing 
Jesus knows it all

inner visions break ~
out like golden Misstra sun
over joys and tears 
 
for once in my life
a sky of ribbons appears ~
love found higher ground

Thanks Jim! Walk with your sunscreen. We've been getting some serious scorchers.

Thanks so much, Karen. Awesome prompt! Stevie's music has always spoken to me in so many different ways. I dabble in singing and songwriting, and his genius is very inspiring.
