Embracing the Night

    Embracing the Night   Mist rinses my face My skin feels radiant The wind kisses my hair I embrace the night   Once in a forgotten time I raced with lanterns they won I celebrated their glory as the brightness framed the night   The night calls my senses and hugs my being with closeness only dark can provide No hiding in the night for I am hidden already   I smile...

A New Life

  Happy Wednesday!!!   Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! Once again, it’s garbage day and I am pretty excited.

And no, I don’t have a bunch of garbage lying around, but I’m sure I can find...

Severe Agitation
