Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Waking rested
cleaving to flesh and bone
after countless nights
wrestling with phantoms
of fantasia

Caressing that constant
as the dawn
Leaving the broken
of dreams
beneath my pillow

My now
and the I have
conquer the woes
of I wish
with contentment

Accepting the I am
as is
Rising to greet the day
undaunted
with my flesh and bone
beside me

Sounds like everything is going your way finally, Lori. Good to hear.

carpe diem! The good ones are slippery little suckers. I celebrate my smiles because I tolerate too many tears. Ha! In fact stress has my blood pressure up these days. So when I woke up feeling woowho!I wrote an ode to the moment. Good to see you this morning Jerry!

  this makes me smile.  (And it's been awhile since I've done that).  Thank you.  I'm happy to see something good happening to such a good person.
