sometimes at night I wander around my neighborhood surrounded by the light of the moon soft mist on my cheeks like a kiss and stars twinkling on high this city at night with buildings ultramodern in scope next door to red brick from the early days of last century the old and the new somehow given me a peaceful glow my mind is at ease not going back to things I've done or said or written which causes me and others pain seems to me that the moon takes my hand and leads me back to The Hovel beneath the twinkling stars having done their work with the moon's help tonight was one of those times I've taken my stroll about . . . and thanks to my many celestial friends I've made peace with my world again took off a day from working on the book get back to it on the morrow ©December 7, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton Dammit I'm Mad is Dammit I'm Mad spelled backward. |

seems to me that the moon takes my hand and leads me back to The Hovel beneath the twinkling stars having done their work I like this, dear Jerry. In the stillness of the night we cleanse our brain and we can choose to just BE, which is good! You will go back to your novel with renewed energy and passion. Margherita |
