sometimes I feel my life
is like a pinball machine
and all the bumpers are random events

5 balls for a quarter
with the hope for a
life extending bonus round

What concerns me most is playing too hard
and going 'Tilt' before
all my balls are used up

Way cool! What a way for you to view YOU.

Now that you reminded me of how I used to see me...before the deflated balloon thing...I was a sea anemone...

The anemone are rooted in place and their only source of sustenance is what ever happens to drift through their ornate tentacles. They are at the mercy of the current. ~L

Delightfully"penned."

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
