Will We Learn?
Will We Learn? ~~~~~ What will we learn during our shelter at home? By the thousands, millions, urged not to roam. Will we learn to panic, will we fight, grab all? Whether needed or not; we’re willing to brawl. Will we learn to share and care for each other; Learn to hate, because that’s what […]
Not a Secret
Not a Secret ~~~~~ I accept my death, though I am not ready to go. That will not matter, if my time ceases to flow. We are all seeking balance, day and the night; End the beginning, despite how we may fight. We shouldn’t act foolishly, courting the reaper. No matter your plans, you may […]

Canvassing ~~~~~ Many think we come into the world tabula rasa. I believe slate is not blank, it is a white canvas.

Quarantine
Quarantine ~~~~~ As we sit a home and bide our sweet time, Hope we and ours come out the other side. Hording is no more safe than eating dimes; Won’t heal you nor slow pace of time, tide. By all means, I say, be careful as you can. Don’t stroll on busy roads, lick live […]
