For the longest time I lost part of myself. And it doesn’t matter why, now. I never thought about getting it back Because I am grateful just to have peace. Grateful for laughter amid a world of stress. Busy flexing my flexibility muscles. And, after a time of mourning, The life I have is enough.Continue reading “Closer”

Into The Wild

Never Thought I’ Be a Preacher But…
DRINK! WATER! I have empirical evidence as to the importance: I woke up yesterday, Feeling like a cheap TV dinner, microwaved for the 5th time. Hot flashes, lethargy, stomach upset. I did everything slowly, half-heartedly, Considering a nap, But not convinced I could fall asleep. As previously reported, I decided to push through. Took aContinue reading “Never Thought I’ Be a Preacher But…”

Even though my soapbox is not very high, I know how some of the things I write, Can sound, preachy. Can sound judgmental. They aren’t meant to be. The thoughts meandering Through my brain, Are honest questions. Critical thinking, Honest questions. And I don’t have the answers. As of now, The questions have me. IContinue reading “Stepping Down”

Leaving only when taken out with family, Because for over two years, I rarely got out of a single room at all, Two to three days a week, And only with momma.

Carry everything to the island. There’s the phone charger, Oh, better plug it in, phone is almost dead. Where is it?Continue reading “Super-Gluteal Muscles”
It Has to Happen.
Yoga on the floor, You have to get up. I tried. I’ve done it for years. But, not in this apartment. I went down, Bruised chin scar. Don’t hesitate, Get up, March forward.
