Two ladies on an hilltop slept
Where coyotes howl and nightly crept
They heard no growl
Nor any howl
But learned to look before they stepped!

While we were in the wrong camp,
Things found there would revamp;

Longevity

Your smile now leaves me immune
to your nearness
as she spits her spit
to stories of drought
amongst the crowded camp fire
where her salt tears are recoiled

Premium Member life is a choice

in the Nazi concentration camp
when a starving prisoner gave a flower to another prisoner
he showed we have a choice
to be compassionate and kind
in spite of circumstances
