Laid Low
Laid Low ~~~~~ Sitting here and succumbing to the idiot box, While doing my best an idiot not to become. I’ve the world’s knowledge at my fingertips. To ignore it; that that would be really dumb.

Would Our Weary World?
Would Our Weary World? ~~~~~ Under the spell of the softly falling rain, It’s gentle dance outside my window. Listening as I lie abed, waking from a nap. The mist rises to hide the nearby hills, Like they have been taken to be washed. When next I see these hills peeking out They should sparkle […]
