Afraid to admit
Lightning scares you
But it's okay
Scares me too

Always spellbound by the gift of nature and the serenity she provides when my thoughts are tangled.

Clarity arrives close to the earth.

#Jewelry

my one adornment
is oura

this little ring
that watches my heart

murmurs to me
of stress
and sleep
and diet

I call her mom

Power was never her currency.

No magnanimous show, just a generosity of spirit.

A willingness to give without expectation, her hallmark.

Well, I wanted to come up with a
good response to the #vss365
prompt, but I couldn’t muster the
necessary energy or enthusiasm -
#lethargy.

Comfort is the silent thief. It doesn't steal your time - it steals your hunger. Beware the #lethargy that feels like peace but tastes like surrender.

The sun didn’t rise
#Lethargy crept filling us up
From our toes to our eyes
Like a moonflower maiden i stood still
When the air had hung silent
I should have known it be an omen
The dark side of a love spell
Sent by the moon
Falling commets crashing stars

Moral lethargy
Ethical demise
Honesty nonexistent
Soulless leader

Will this be the year?

"Which looks better, this one or this?"

The first one I answer.

She flips the slides, "This or this?"

The second I answer.

Eyes drops go in then the verdict.

I'm told cataract surgery is still a few years away.

A timid March sky beckons spring,
