Come and be a part of me, now conjoined Our lives meshed relentlessly caught Netted forever in daily favours we appoint In constant debt to save love's abort Entity rules written on parchment ethereal Compile acumen requirements Tolerance adopts compassionate interior Faith pledge beckons kindness Independance threatens from near corner Sinister as demon intending to leap Reports a lost opportunity to love coroner Solitary...

Written on February 17, 2020 By Gail DeBole I read a quote the other day. It said you must improve today. I read a quote the other day. It said to love yourself – don’t change. Which quote was right?

There it goes again, disturbing the calm and quiet of my mind from its peaceful setting. The shrieking begins; my poisonous parrot shrills loud that piercing song of my doubt. My decisions come hard... always a tug of war, between negative and positive thinking. My weak inner self and that mocking parrot each takes one of my hands and pulls. I summon my support... a...
