Good morning friends, old and new! :-) I've missed you guys. I hope all are well and happy. I must thank Catalinamoon for coaxing me to take a moment to quickly poke my head back here to this dimension of solace -- I do miss it and all your work, but I've simply been very busy the past few months, and you know how time goes... Anyway, here's my first poem in equal time, "hot off the press", once more, thanks to Catalinamoon's request. I'm also very flattered by all you guys "keeping the faith" with my TWENTY OR LESS series! :-] May such ripples never dissipate! -MVS

In the contrails
Of a supersonic
Reality

Life
Roars my youth
Through its turbines

And I find myself

Enjoyed!! Glad you're back Mark. Chris

Hey Mark!! It's the man who taught me all about the twenty or less!! *and this one is a beauty, I might add* It started back up one day earlier this week and seems to have caught on....again! I was just telling someone about you and the twenty or less that we used to do! I hope you are back to stick around for awhile! You most certainly are missed!
Hugs, Nancy.

Thanks to Catalinamoon! We've missed you, Mark.
And didn't your mom ever warn you about jetlag? LOL.

Well, if I’ve got a choice between twenty or lost, then I’ll take the twenty please, for I’ve spent too much time being lost already!! Lol.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Thanks so much to you all -- it feels like a wonderful "home-coming"...

I'll be back more frequently once they get me a computer w/Internet hookup at work

Thanks for making my day!

Thanks again guys... I'm smiling humbly...

I'm looking forward to coming back very soon, but I gotta run now -- I'm actually troubleshooting a friend's system as I type on it!! See you "soon"...
