A Bird on a Wire
Feet clenched, holding on tightly, balancing through the shifts in the wind, the bird hangs onto the wire. This is not a place to stay, only a quick vantage point to scout for food, to be safe above the commotion, but it is not a safe place. Little woman, hiding in the shadows, never reaching the full light of day, holding on tightly, balancing … Read More A Bird on a Wire
The fork in the road.
Here I am again, I’ve been traveling down this road for so long now, and once again another fork in the road.

Here comes the Sun!

“I will not an die an unlived life.”
Here is a poem I have kept for years to remind me of what I strive for. “I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.
