The Age Old Battle…

if I were my heart,
in an age-old battle
with good ol’ mind;
and I was told to
(by me)
“get along now,
love each other”
would I follow (me)
or continue still
to uphold tradition,
and battle harder?
then simply say,
“I’ll leave that
to do tomorrow.”
will that tomorrow
ever be realized?

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.

  7. As I read this, Rachel Maddow is on TV talking about how difficult it is to vote in many U.S. states. Will the future ever be different, you ask. Indeed! Good people stand aside and let evil florish. We could make a different future, but only if we all do something SOON!
