life unwritten

Life is ever changing
Flowing like a river
Into streams and branches
Reaching for the shore
Only to move away and keep driving onward

A book unwritten
Pages unfilled
A pen waiting silently to write the next chapter
Tomorrow holds an unknown future

Shadows wait silently to be revealed
Light moves to darkness, one moment fades
As another shines
Life continues on an ever winding path

Filled with crossroads and detours,
25 mph curves, falling rocks, and
sometimes places where one can cruise
at 100 mph down a desolate stretch of life

unbelievable

it was so unbelievable
like something you read about
something you hear on the radio
it took her breath away
made her scream and moan
made her yearn for more
made her want things she couldn't, shouldn't have
hot, so amazingly hot
nothing more than words
but words so tempting
words so powerful
she wanted it again and again
but clung to the knowledge that she couldn't have it
shouldn't have it
could only want it through words
words on a page in the air in the universe

Ah...family

The picture is my mom and sister in Arches National Park in Utah. My sister is on the right. She's 8 years older than me and I love her dearly. I just spent 5 days with her and my mom--showing them the sights of Grand Junction and even Utah...overall it was a successful visit. I found all kinds of things to do here that I didn't even know existed and they got to see two states they'd never been to before. I miss them all dearly--way out there in Georgia...but at least now I know my mom can handle a plane ride! It was her first ever. Perhaps next time we'll get my dad and my bro-in-law out here...who knows???

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy 4th of July/My birthday! I am all of 28 today. An old woman...bah! I still think I'm 21. Watch some fireworks, eat a hamburger...thank God for the good ole' U.S.A.
