I watch
I watch
compulsively
visions
on the
tv screen
bad, bad news
(or seems to be)
the haunting
has caught up with me.

Betsy
rode
a scorching broom--
sweeping
in her random swipe.
Lili
boasted
the same thing--
call family--prepare to die.

and OH?
does drama queen grasp pen?
Ride ONE--you'll
not ride again.

The wind will never
sound the same.
It keens
and knows
the pain of rain.

(big hugggssssss) Oh Karen, here's hoping you and your neighbors and safe and sound down there, sweet friend, I have heard of it being in the Class 4 category up to 140 M.P.H winds and wish everyone to stay safe home tonight! (sigh) Hang in there, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Such are the moments that change a part of you, forever.  There's nothing dramatic about reality when it's howling outside your door and all you can do is lamely double bolt.

serenity

there is safety in a pen, ya know.
It holds you to the word and thus to thought, and a poets thoughts like hope... float.  Stay safe please!

Karen,
A pen? I do like you more everyday! Waiting for the damage report about that levy behind your place. Truly I hope all is well. Peace because courage you already have.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

hey...all is well...

I was wound too tight to write last night.

*chuckle*

consider that a challenge phrase?

nothing to do now but watch the tides, and compare the measured rain...

hmmm...

(add that if y'can... )

love you all...

I think I just needed to exhale.

Funny, I don't usually hear Morrissey in the wind. LOL

Nevermind.
