The ravenous feeling of late night Thoughts anything but straight Still thinking in the morning light In those stars is my fate With you, soaring higher than a kite I fall back to earth in a different state Struggling with all my might Nervous on our first date These butterflies took flight Surviving the impossible … More Late Life Love Affair
Life rejects the intuitive map Unexpected turns, detours, construction The scenery, pretty but foreign Was I staring at my own destruction? — Rivers run deep, yet creeks creep Anxiety builds, awaiting time to arrive The quiet invites deep, cold thoughts When doubt and fear thrive — In the neurons of my mind The universe peeks … More I’m Not Afraid
