Silver Spangled Dress
I dream of dancing
In a silver spangled dress,
The moonlight reflecting,
Holding me in its caress.
I dream of dancing
With the sunlight in my hair,
Splashing in the waves
Without a single care.
Running on the beach
With sand between my toes,
Living in the moment –
Alive, despite my woes.
‘Pride comes before a fall’,
But the fall got in my way;
One can seldom have it all –
Perhaps another day…

2 weeks to check-up and X-rays, but feeling strong again. Still difficult to sit at computer though, thanks Cindy.

“living in the moment” is such the wise way to go. But I have never been able to unshackle myself completely from my past as well as not be tormented by an uncertain future.

I think it is harder to do than we think, Carl. I am still learning to ‘let go’. 🙂

Ah yes! Btw, Mike, I didn’t get your email. I have a new email address now, and it probably got lost in the change over. Hope you are keeping well.
