All my life, pulled to it, being creative,a

Assumed like most all kids, making something from nothing, from bits of anything, from my head, reliable joy,

Writing later, a little spark of encouragement, all I needed to believe my writing worthy,

Then muddled by adulthood and the world’s struggles, aimed too high, ended up firmly rooted in the present,

Relationships, responsibilities, marriages, all, now considering the way forward,

Slightly asquee, asquee,

All the same, ever forward ever forward,

Go with the gut, what comes from within, most often unfiltered, shining, for better or worse,

Shining.
