Rage
Even though he eventually tried to reconcile, she could not forgive him for what their children had already endured, and for what they would still have to go through.
War’s Dictates
I do not like playing the game Chess because someone must alwats be vanquished.
Check Mate
“He took it all away from me; from us; from our children.
Because he was afraid to redefine what it meant to be free.
Because he did not truly see me.
For if he had, he would have known that any wrong could have been made to be right between us.
And he would have reached out to embrace life – rather then letting hope whither and diminish.”
(Poison And Wine – The Civil Wars)
Reading
It could be expected that I would extoll its virtues.
But having not read much for years, finding old friends in book form means facing memories of loss.
For I once had a life I loved, full of books and the promise of better tomorrows.
Back when I believed in love’s power to overcome anything.
But it is the human spirit that must remain resilient.
What Delight!
Usually, when I sit someplace inside made by humans, my searching eyes find very little of interest to entice or intrigue my mind’s curiosity.
Not so sitting inside of a book store!
(Dancing With A Stranger – Sam Smith ft. Normani)
Dear Alex,
Those countless years of you giving your all, while alone and privately grieving.
No.
I cannot begrudge any happiness you may have now gained for yourself.
External Reality
Why did it draw her?
The concept seemed so foreign.
Yet, her muscles quivered, strapped tight by impact adhesions, humming to break free and slide again easily.
A New Journey
It has been recently more confusing for me to know which path to take when coming to certain crossroads.
I guess this is because I am arriving at places that I have never been before – even if scenarios seem familiar.
Benefits
Picked apart into particulates
Obscurely evaluated for worth,
What must a good soul endure
To secure its own providence?
Gene Kelly & Mitzi Gaynor: “Les Girls” (1957)
After All
“Thank you for believing in me,” said Clark / Kal El / Superman.
“It didn’t make much difference, in the end,” replied Lois tearfully.
“It did to me.”
Man of Steel
(Brighter Than Sunshine – Aqualung)
Tales Of The Fae: Null & Void [5]
Countless centuries
Condemned to walk these wastelands
Either to be used and discarded
Or keep vigil, alone.
Tales Of The Fae: Banishment [4]
“What did you do, you fool?! They will never forgive you!”
“It is not for them to forgive -but to repent millennia of humanity’s mistreatment!”
Tales Of The Fae: Caveat [3]
Their beauty lured by irresistable charm the unwary into lover’s harm.
But once transformed into a mortal, love’s bounty became barred.
Tales Of The Fae: Spell Of Love [2]
Oh twisted fate!
At last able to feel it –
Yet to be ever denied!
Tales Of The Fae: The Urge [1]
The rare stone’s opalescent liquid fire droplets of Autumn-hued rainbows cascaded up and down across its perfected surface in sequential shifting patterns, unbroken by pause or flaw’s deliberate intention.
Its promise knocked upon her heart’s seal, as if still sleeping deep within her being was a Fae Queen ready to be reawakened.
Comrades
This isn’t a war nor a competition.
It’s a parallel situation.
“Night Passage”
“Ink”
” Fractals”
“Within A House” [10]
There is love and care for each other.
When loving care fades = outer circle.
One is allowed into the central hearth
Only if devotion’s sustained and proven.
Inner City Hues
Grid-iron tracks from depth of view’s
Descension into tunnel-boared earth
Running parallel arcs to womb’s core
Phazing darkening to absence of light
Glistening curves flash height’s sight
As we pass above enroute to night life.

What I Want
Full recovery into a life of vitality.
And the extra good and joy that comes with it!
Word Of The Day: Acetabular
Gold Linings
She had been hurt, but also afforded new opportunities.
What If?
What if we only asked for what we truly needed, and greed’s avarice was no longer encouraged nor permitted?
Asceticic Ventures
There did not seem to be anyone she could speak with about such ponderings, except maybe the other common people around her.
So she began posing the greater questions to them in passing, and was surprised to find others beginning to think more like her.
Tensile Elasticity
The accident had overstretched the connective tissues so that when she pushed against her own internal boundaries to gain strength, they blew out, which left her emotionally exhausted.
Risk
After expending effort, her confidence would plummet.
Dear Alex,
I know that you have done the best you could with the decisions you have made in sharing beneficience with your status.
But why do I still feel “less than” when I have done the same in the common grounds with my own sweat, innovation, and endurance?
Social Elevation
It was not easy, nor comfortable, to be among the first to promote an improved value system.
(Title play with words)
A Case For Humanity
Was she foolish? She fretted as she limped through the kitchen to let the dogs out.
It was customary to sue for pain and suffering, and clearly, she was experiencing plenty of that.
But her will was determined to overcome – or at least bypass – her multiple symptoms.
And she was retraining for a replacement career that could be very exciting.
She did not believe in causing harm to others because she had been harmed – except when necessary in the most extreme situations.
Pause Of The Claimant
People she spoke with assumed she would sue because “she had a right to.”
But she also knew that the person having to pay had not been at fault. It had been her partner driving.
She was surprised and a bit disgusted with the toxic money-hungering liturgy in society’s system.
Perhaps she did not have her own priorities correct – especially after having endured repeated homelessness and poverty.
But it was one thing to pursue what was owed to one’s self from a huge agency set up for such compensations.
And quite another if the tally directly affected another person who personally could not afford it.
(Hideaway – Kiesza)
Sounding
Perhaps it was better she stayed on her own, for she waa always automatically listening.
My Hound
Instead of a cock-a-too, she’s a whack-a-tail.
Expressing with tails is a hound’s pack greeting!
Cryosleep
Upon being awakrned, the first thing she did was find a way out from the entangled machinery.
Love Grows
Money comes then goes.
RECEEEEIIIIVED! Sleep Token Mastery
Winter Solstice
The longest night of the year, where she felt all of her energy just pulled inward to draw her down to rest among the sleeping roots of Mother Earth.
Ker-Flump!
She knew that she should feel accomplished for the feats of overcoming that she had so far accomplished.
Yet, she just felt exhausted and discouraged.
An External Event
Can be transformed into opportunity by the associated energy being tapped into and repurposed through spiritual alchemy.
Extended Newt Cut
Dear Alex,
You have been thrust into a leadership position that is not like mine, yet we are the same. Behind the scenes or presenting, we are playing a deeper game.
