Writing Dot Com

“Writing Dot Com”

When dawn sculptures a new horizon,
Rising to lead this child into the sun,
Initializing a never-ending story,
Turning my face, my back against the wind,
I can only yield to the push and lift.
Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.
Glorious or dry nights, I maintain ‘n gratitude.

‘Do the best you can till you know better’
Only family could, would, should say that.
That’s where you come in. You gave this writer

Courage; a potential to believe in me,
One butterfly going through the changes.
Made reading and writing my deepest needs.
