“Gateway“
Overgrown, cloistered
broken path beckons enter,
mysteries await
Beyond yon gateway
sweet surcease entices all
safe harbor perhaps?
Or a peaceful mask
for unbounded violence
does this door provide?
We find as we seek
death or life, evil or good,
poison or sweet balm
Enter then at risk
of encountering your fate
heart safely guarded

A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

I was thinking, would you like to do some more? we could create a Spark presentation of even PDF Booklet…..if it looks really good we could make a book and get it printed for family and friends……your pretty words and my pretty pictures? A collaboration

Oh my! That’s something to think about! But you’re a professional and I’m merely a dabbler–I’d be willing, but you’d have to approve anything I wrote. Even if it’s just for family is never want to write words that didn’t do justice to your art. I love this idea, though!
