march2020 I will emerge from darkness/from the cold lewd of anger/at what is lost/Let me bask in the light of the sun/while the heat of the day burns this husk of dismay from my soul/The cold of purgatory/ slams its gates upon my frozen limbs/as I return to the land of life/in honor of that which deep is buried/Your footprints remain/I will bask in their presence/bathe in the glow of their memory/in/the midst of their sorrow/I will taste of the moments/savor wondrous laughter that lights up our spirits/the beacons of hope visible in waning dusk

TO ALL THE WORLD RICH AND POOR..
I watch the news daily, read the stories daily, worry about the planet daily. I listen to people deny and call this climate change a hoax. I see the plastic I toss and the mountains of trash we make from all our discarded waste and I wonder what world my children will live in when they are my age. I see the animals dying off, becoming extinct, the icebergs melting, the pollution enveloping us like a darkened fist, choking us and now I hear the water is also gonna be a problem soon…and I wonder about those rich getting richer and denying all this. I wonder more at the folks that believe them. They say it’s just another cycle. I would almost believe them but most of these folks also believe the earth is only a few thousand years old..and..THAT worries me!

VAPING:
At approximately 11:50/11:55 pm on December 31st, 1999, I took the last puff of my last cigarette(so far). I had grown tired of smoking and the lungs would complain at me when I lay down to sleep at night, causing me to sit up for another half hour each night to let my lungs catch a full breath of air to be able to go to sleep .
