It didn’t start there, and it would not end there, but I now recognize the events of that day as my life’s epicenter.
edges blur
looking In or Out the Window becomes Looking
in swirling chaos
in swirling chaos /
together – we find center /
and you make me feel
It’s a SIGN…
Or IS it a “sign” at all?
Catching My Breath
I know, I know, my writing has been spotty (at best) for the last couple months. Ironically, this wordless patch…
You begin this way:

And Refuses to Ever let Us go.
