I wish to be #emboldened— become #unmoored, instead of #rotting here, #comfortably, upon the shore where I gaze out at all the chances I don't explore a desire to throw off #weekly #demands, get lost in #nature— to be more than a stoic fixture in a lifestyle I no longer understand. #Emoetry

you looked at me with choiceless eyes uncoiled the rope & said I must now be unmoored my sails unraised I've one foot in the boat & one on the dock my arm curled around a piling for I do not wish to leave I can feel hamstrings stretch my arm slips the hand grips how long 'til I'm adrift? #vss365

I haven't been on much as of late, as I suffered from a severe illness I'm recovering from. I miss the poetry group and can't wait to contribute and see your work again ❤️

Today marks my first what-if baby. She would have been 29. -- An empty crib and little clothes, a stilled rocking chair, imagined smiles and milestones, of what we'd never share So I give you silent Name and tuck you in my heart until a blessed, sacred day, when we meet again #poetry
