Catch Up

Hello friends.  It has been a very long time since I've written for this blog.  After Liz and I completed our book, Lies, I spent writing time on poetry.  Today, I realized I was missing the blog so I checked in and saw that people still stop by. That made me happy. Thank you.

I hope to pen more essays and also to share some of the poems I've been writing which I think fit in with the purpose of the blog...sharing thoughts about living.  This past week, I had a couple of doctors' appointments which I flat out hate and who doesn't.  Still, there is always something to take away even from the most mundane experiences. As always, comments are very welcomed.


Off to Some Unnatural Procedure

dressed in identical gowns
hands folded in our laps
we are wheeled in our chairs
down a long hall
towards each other
fast
closer
closer
about to pass
I spy tufts of hair
blue eyes in a lined face
a rogue smile
I laugh
bumper cars
we breeze by
humble
 in body
spirit
 in our eyes

I'm tingling in my chest and eyes reading "spirit in our eyes". That and the title and bumper cars and rogue eyes are going to ride with me through my day.

I am so glad you're back writing here now.
love,
Aileen

Beautiful, Bridget. I love that last image, humble in our bodies / sprit in our eyes . Really vibrant!

And glad you are here reading. Bumper cars, I loved them.

Thanks E. I like the word "vibrant" It's going in my tool kit.
