Bright blue bitter January sky
New York City Eskimos running their Sunday errands
Then he arrived with his seen better days car
Man with the mission
His cats were waiting
They scurried from nowhere to Bluebelt park
Out of his bags came food for his cats
Watching and quietly seeing love and respect at a strange time in our cities
Love protected those homeless cats as my poetry protects me

The walking wounded
Don't exceed your respect
We walk on by with
our heads held high
probably because our shoulders are doing their best to keep us together
Be thoughtful and kind
A smile and  a hug go a very long way
Please remember that sometimes reaching out helps you more than the person you gave your time to
How fragile we are!
Appreciate every moment

When you have been thrown under the bus too often
When you are ignored like a once loved toy
When the words no longer have meaning
It is not the way you wanted it to be
Yet,it is what it is
Sometimes never applies and the door is hermitcally sealed because dealing with the pain makes no sense anymore

Better times
Easier days
Egos checked at the door
Days of what used to be
That is how you will be remembered
Today and Tomorrow passed us by
If you are happy that is what is best you
That is all I can ask for
You are photographs and memories
That will have to enough

It is not in a card
Not in a song lyric
You don't find it in a beautifully gift wrapped gift
Virginia knows Santa Claus exists no matter where or what you worship
Even if you don't
Smiling is easy
A hug or word of reassurance
Merry will find you if you open your heart

spent late afternoon and evening with Delacroix,Picasso,Van Gogh ,Mondrian and other great masters at the Met.
inspiration is in the works stay tuned
another year is about to come and go
Endless tears and last said goodbyes
enabling and co-dependency got up and left the room
getting more comfortable with myself and how my life will move forward
if you were left behind it's because there is nothing left to say
not my intention but it is better than the way it is and was
the memories are gifts

My gift to you is forgiveness but choose not to walk back into the door of your lives
you have made that crystal clear
Don't go where I am not welcomed
