Thirty Something Alchemy

Thirty Something Alchemy Are some of us beyond those years? Days of having children, spouses, working, and lovers quarrels and tears. Nights of staying out till three am at a party! When arrogant you flashed your wits ~ such a big smarty! Days and nights when you were able to eat anything at all. And you loved showing off "you" at the shining ball, dance hall? This poetess spent her Chicago days and nights like this. Filled with camaraderie, dances and yes something very unique, that much awaited for good night kiss. All vanished now in a dreamlike cloud. But the beat goes on within in her! After all, she is hardly wearing a shroud! Wondering if there are other poets like her, who dream of such? And just for one day, just maybe... Have just a taste of their past's most magical touch? 5/20/2019 10:30am PST

About me it is written: "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." LOL. Thanks for stirring the embers (of the fire in the belly) a bit with this charming write. ~ gw

It is so important that the "beat goes on". " But the beat goes on within in her!" EXACTLY WRITE!
