the better to see
my dears
open
doors and third eye
windows
clean
closets and soul
remove spider webs
from heads
and hearts
unwrap fears
and fly

(From Allegories of Altars, We Inhale Press, 2008)

  5. Life: Between the lines – A thinker. I analyze everything. I live in my head, sometimes it is my protective mechanism and most times, I just like it. My mind has not failed me yet... My life's mantra: "Treat others as you would like to be treated". Blessed be! Fave quotes:“I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me. All I ask is that you respect me as a human being.” Jackie Robinson

    Yes, fly up real high in the sky; where birds dare not glide; but in your heart I feel a sigh…now that you would rather live than die>
    We are waiting for you to share it all.
