Exploring Options
I’ve recently reopened my dream folder on my computer and have had some interesting ideas spring forth. Before I can allow myself to feel comfortable with the dream, I need to explore why another model of it failed. We were successful in our mission. We excelled at peer to peer groups, financial assistance, and helping…
By Your Side
Your news hit me and my wall came tumbling down, You lay there on the gurney, Calm and serene in chaos, Tubes and wires beeps echo through the passageways, IV hooked to life support, You lost to consciousness through all this effort, Holding your hand tightly a tear slips down, Fear churning inside, Questions and…
Steadfast
I stood against the wall, Steadfast and secure, Tide surged out carrying tears, Heart in hand, Looking across the sandy expanse, Life, here, Here I am again, On lonely shores, Full of cheer, Shouts of jubilee, Life flows journeying onwards.

If it were the Great Depression, I’d want you, If it were World War II, I’d want you, If it were Korea, Vietnam, I’d want you, If it were the Gulf Wars, I’d want you, If it were now, I’d want you.

Old Haze
Old haze visits these days, Spaced out on meds, Returning to normal routine, Old haze visits these days, Feeling the pull of lethargy, Feeling the push of sleepy hollow, Old haze visits these days, Restful and whimsical dreams, Fill hollow between the ear balls, Old haze visits these days.
I’m having a rough time
My partner has a lot of health issues which give me pause to ponder many questions. How do I support them? How can I help them experience their bucket list? How do I care for myself? How can I make every transition easier for us? What do we both need to remain comfortable? Who can…
