hangs on a wall.
His wheeled chair
sits in a corner.
His tillered escape –
the Barque,
Astral Traveler.

We warned you
about that pack
threatening
days and nights.
They captured you,

Love's Kisses And Music
Blending midsummer air
drifting softly
in the sapphire
twilight clouds
where the beauty of
love's kisses
and music
is real.

BREAKING MY HEART IN PIECES
Surreal, unconceivable, unbelievable!!!
Twenty family members so
sick with Covid, two critical.
Draining, mentally exhausting,
breaking my heart in pieces.
