Quit thinking it's oh so
Quaint I'm good 'for my age'
Question is, why not? to
Quip, this old gray mare ain't
Quite what she used to be~
Quicker of will, I'm still
Quintessentially me.

You may ask anything in my name, 
And I will do it.

A quote from Jesus recorded in the bible:
	No requirements. 
	No qualifiers. 
	No restrictions given.
	No request forbidden.

A simple promise.

Too bad it seldom works....

i wake
my heart racing
with thoughts of you
freshly torn

My aorta beats in golden poppies,
pulsing down slopes to pool
in a bruise of purple sage.
Though my eyes gleam
with lemon marigolds
snow caps of porcelain lupine
melt on my lashes,
undulating in a quiet tempest
of periwinkle asters.
Beneath a bluebell sky
the sun colors my cheeks
with the blush of primroses
as monarchs lilt
like birds of paradise
among velvet morning glories
and a shy alyssum breeze
caresses my emerald cloak.
