Yes, not too long out of the work force, not even worth counting yet, and already the brain cells have begun to diminish. How so? Probably one of many little misadventures to come.

Tell me about your heart
Tell me about that part
When it was broken
And how I came along
And it was mended.
Tell it to me like it’s a
Bedtime story so I can
Ask you to repeat it at will.

Tell me about your heart
Tell me all the parts.
Tell me ho...

posted about 1 year ago | 2 comments
When my time comes, let me go.
Let me go so I will know
That when in the fall of the year
It will feel that I have left quietly
And any silence felt by my absence
Will only linger for a little while.
So shudder not in fear.
When my time comes; fac...

posted over 2 years ago, updated 18 minutes later | 4 comments
Fear is not so funny.
It grabs one in the most horrible of places

Sometimes palpitations
Sometimes constriction.
They say fear is an absence of God.
But I don't think so. I know he exists ...

posted over 2 years ago | 1 comment
Women trust their inner courage and wisdom
Women have always been strong from the inside out.
Women share with open hearts and listen with
Optimism and truth. Many times we wear
Our hearts on our sleeves.
We keep our arms wide open and our op...

Hortense or Henrietta
Petunia or Petula
Simone or Socorro
They had so many to choose from
Who would I become with a different name?
What if I were Jasmine or Tabitha?
Would my hair be yellow, and eyes blue?

WHAT DID YOU WANT?

posted over 2 years ago, updated about 1 month later | 1 comment
What did you want?
Did you ever really know?
Were you just poking around hoping.
Poking around trying.
Lost. Lost like a wayward child.
What did you want?

Would it just appear like a rainbow?
Did you think ...
