I linger in the mist
and within the folds of ancient
bliss

a taste of acceptance
and of rejection

dwelling
within a body and mind
rejuvenated
by a scintillating sky
and by the sights, sounds
and smells
weaved
through the paradox of humankind

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Terveen, and Barbara for always supporting my work; and, thank you to each of you for continuing to read, like, and comment on my poems in these two exceptional online magazines.

Here are my two newest pieces.
