Consequences

Aroma of Flowers

Shiny Apples for two

but God said...not from that center Tree

so winding-slithery tricked me & you...

banished from beauty forever

Mid-Life Cruise (an excerpt)

Undoubtedly, in the middle of your life

if blessed to experience that high-light in time,

the story or stories you tell yourself

will pave a promise of peace

or a promise of deterioration...

discern wisely, think on the better,

the best of and for yourself...to perhaps

just perhaps be a blessing to someone else

tell yourself that story and watch it bloom
