Nobody Dies Forever Tribute To Carolyn Helen Devonshire
Let everyone be aware
of this prominent truth :
There is no eternal death,
no one dies forever!
If the body deteriorates,
the flesh of the spirit
it doesn't even putrefy in ground dust,
neither with time!...

and the Finger-tip tickle skinsation....

A Quickie
Allow our bubbles to soar
Carrying hopes on an ocean breeze
Don’t let them drop to the sea floor
Or burst from a seagull’s sneeze
For Mother Nature can be quite the tease
