my door
doesn't feel safe anymore.
there are far more MONSTERS here
than i thought there were before.
some of them are BIG but most of them are small
and the smallest are the scariest monsters of them all.
they float over
and sneak up
and burrow inside you
when you try to prevent them they just break through.
they make you COUGH and wheeze and struggle for breath
they dance in your lungs
and waltz you closer to death.
all this time i was hiding from monsters under my bed...
i should have been hiding from the
AIR
instead.

Art and poetry
pour from my mind peacefully
quieting the noise.
I am an artist, poet, and spoonie. Art and poetry have gotten through the roughest times of life. They help me release the sorrows and find the joy.
Now I share them with you.

"MULTIVERSE IN TIME"
I chose this song as I have been singing this tune as an eccentric eclectic artist as a woman of 74 years of age. i am not your conventional old lady nor was your conventional young lady. I am a free spirit of sorts. I am empath who have met many patriarchal societies of many men who were so into their manly egos of testosterones without a tear and thought they could control me as a human being. I choose to walk in the light, to care about humanity. If that is political or Godly and they don't like that about me so, be it. It is a good day today. This was written because it's not all about me, but other women in the same situations.
