Poetry: My Evening
For two very different but awesome people Caramel sugar spun in endless creamy waves Melting icy delights under a connoisseur’s names Macadamias as abundant as birdsongs in rainforest trees Are lightening up my evening I’m a new girl in my dreams No nose rings but lots of cheesy spaghetti strings Salad dressings and mugs of…
Poetry: Neurodivergence

Word To The Wise: Soul
Held down gripping on tight to the Earth My soul sometimes wonders what exactly she’s worth And I remember the times that in canyons deep I prayed to the Lord my soul to keep Fleshing enmeshing and the harvest threshing Reaping what I then did sow and soul fetters unbending Hold me still tight on…
