You really have to hear and not listen
Certain people feel the need to say it all without regards to your feelings
Their opinion reigns supreme no matter the reasons or circumstances
The caveat here is to not let it disturb your sleep or how they are making you feel
You can deal but the truth is you can tell them off or turn a deaf ear
No matter what you do you just have to let it go or let them go because they wag their tongues without self control
Your feelings don’t matter to them

His birthday celebration with loved ones and friends all around.
He takes his Aunt’s hand and asks would you ride the carousel with me?
The greatest gift is to spend a few magical moments with her five-year-old nephew.-

The squirrels decided to entertain with acrobatics while they found the roasted nuts left for them by several trees.
Some leaves were soaked from the rain while others stayed bright and green refusing to fall
The humidity and dew point have made walking a melting Olympic sport
Hypocrisy and ignorance dance around us while others just try to move forward and carry on
People have enjoyed meeting others while putting prejudice and arrogance behind them and that is delightful
Wardrobes are still in Summer for now and probably will be until November right before Thanksgiving
This is an East Coast September and used to bes like Neil Diamond wrote Just lie on the floor til you sweep them away
It is a different September no matter what coast you call home
I met my husband forty-four years ago this week so I have a thing for September and tall blue eyed men.

We will never forget
We hear stories and remembrances
People witnessing horrific moments and people jumping from windows
No matter where you live you were affected
Someday there will be a National Day of Remembrance so we never forget and remind those who were not born yet what happened
Until then, the tears flow and we remember
Excelsior!

Some are temporary.
Some Lifelong.
Some were completely unexpected.
Some unexplainable.
Some stay the same at a distance.
Some grow.
Some end for reasons we will never fully know.
Some completely undeserving of us.

There is no paradox here at all.
When the words don't come as easily as they should.
What is a poet to do?
You listen for the muses and their cues no matter where they come from.
No chorus, harmony, or melody without a feeling.
Hoping they will find you and return.
Open your eyes.
Open your heart.
Listen carefully and they will sing their song again.

The last four years have been beyond comprehension but no matter what I have heard and experienced the words stay positive.
Many things have changed but having heart and calm saves the day.
Some things stay the same and for others, you adapt to the times and issues as best you can.
There is so much to see and do.
If you have given up, please don't think of taking me with you.
I will remain protectively positive.
