Live your humanity; express yourself with care and compassion for others. We are all human.
Play on. We will all benefit from the chorus of your constant melody.

on your own terms
in your own time
only you know
what you need
take the time to
find out why

Winter will not wait
for soft scarves, warm parkas,
or Mom’s hot chocolate.
Mindful of nothing, but itself,
Winter comes as it goes,
as it wants, as it will.
Unexpected, unexcused,
an unrepentant breath leaves
a deep trail of icey footprints
across our psyche. Winter waits
for when we are most vulnerable.
Winter cannot not wait.

Go lightly in your judgment
please, you know less of my
circumstance than I, and
heaven knows I know so
little about my reasons why
and could only use a little
empathy. Nothing is sacred
in this tell-all society and it
is only with reservation that
I pay any attention to what I
hear and believe as I must in
a world that appears to work
well without honesty as far
as I can tell but don’t want
to believe. I want to know.
