my life has turned simple old sol awakes me so very silently the voices in my head have quieted need that first cuppa joe the lights come on hesitantly in my head shining on the voices sharing space I laugh aloud there is joy within my heart no matter what those voices say I make my oatmeal and blueberries sprinkle cinnamon Add the honey I retain the joy of my simple life thwarting those voices who wish me death I begin to hum an old tune humming always calms the voices my life from its reckless pursuit for freedom where there were none to ultimate danger and needing to expose myself to it knowing I could never experience such a calm existence as I now enjoy eh . . . again I laugh aloud no one here to hear it ‘cept Zoe I step outside with Zoe following spread my arms wide facing the north holding them out in the direction of you it is another day a simple day my love is steadfast ©February 13, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

This is peace. ...from within to without Mellowing from top to bottom. Carpe Diem JerryPat. Take along a 'pair of eights' She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |
