Right when I thought I had figured things out, 
FEAR sauntered in and introduced DOUBT.

With mystic ink
As words I cite

As I feed fine
Crisp rustic chimes

In sensuous feel
Now first...

where the fickle finger 
of fate stationed me in life,

At the beginning of “64” - I packed up my uniform

Under protests and jeers.

Then...

In Sumer land, you first appeared.
A potent god, both loved and feared.
Queen of Heaven, joined to its lights.

In towns where Basic fantasy makes a frown
Nature has turned Completely upside down.
And day tours emigrate to the Cambrian shore
Onboard, the rivers boats from Windermere  
moving between hills and trees, miles from home

As the morning sun rose, it did say
“Who’s there, on earth, so trustworthy
To follow my movements throughout the day?”

Out spoke the sunflower
“It’s me, my Lord, in that bower.
Through the day though come what may
I’ll follow...

A mural painter? Why not? I asked myself.
My husband was inside, glued to a Lazy-Boy recliner
watching five TVs simultaneously.
He would not have a fit about something he did not see, right?
How often does he come...

You hastily spilled a loaded jar of stained language.
Sky aglow by a rainbow, as sunsets below a ledge.
Pouring a layer of dullness into a pristine scene.

Filling in the blanks that left holes in my seam
Visiting the courage given for this day

All the things...

I thought I had all I needed,
I rested on my oar, 
I thought all had been mended,
I had everything to soar.

Naïve and inexperienced I was,
Someone had to put me through,
It was a different battlefield and...

Tremored breaths of relentless thought
Changing haunts but remains constant  presence

Excited...
