In a World Full of Cross Your Hearts
A Poem
Story starts and cross your hearts and a l'il bit of a song
Everything is not a red alert
Or get your head outta that skirt
I just want to move along
The hand is quicker than the eye is over there on your side
I'm just trying to get by
I'm just trying to get by
The silence once was so incredible
I had to learn to string the words together
Just to make a start
As if a vowel had more meaning
Than a trick-or-treat greeting
In a world of cross your hearts
What do you feel?
I feel a touch from my toes to my groovy soul
How 'bout you?
The same
How don't you know?
And I'm in the dreamy kind of somewhere in between your shadow, your light, and that feeling
Then reality strikes and it's like
Where are all the cool people anymore
I hope you know the greeting

Tales of the Aurora Borealis
Who knew a solar storm could be so beautiful? Purples, reds, and greens shimmering in our skies like dancing ribbons. Hypnotic and enchanting, the Northern Lights have had us humans in complete awe for centuries. Which got me thinking, what did our ancestors think of the Aurora Borealis?

Wow! That reminds me of automatic writing, which I practiced years ago. Did you write this at night?

A vowel had more meaning than a trick-or-treat greeting. Love that line. Great poem.
