to many little things.
I'd reach up high,
again retie,
my mama's apron strings.

that its passing is never evident...
Until it is our time to leave and go on alone
to stand before...

Orange sunset skies
Zest meets curiosity
just to hear the ocean roar

As hurt unfolds.

As backache...

looking for meaning
a reason to stay

torn by a dream
wishing tomorrow

finding no answers
