cultured in your word, my young spirit grows.

Then always keep on your ratings radar.

My Inspiration, My Mom
Back fifty-three long years ago, she left;
my Mom- at the young age of fifty-five.

The Ballad of A Frail Mind“Are you afraid of being left behind?”
“No, it’s just temporary, I’m not lonely.”
But abandonment issues aren't easy.

echoes a promise that we had spoken.
Our world the moment and so full of love.

HypnagogicMy restless thoughts at last stop pestering me.
No consciousness have I when first I’m sleeping.
