In
My
Other
Life
I Stood
Before
An
Easel,
A
Wide
Brush
In
Hand,
Took
A
Steady
Stand,
And
Swept
A
Rainbow
Of
Paint
Across
The
Canvas
In
An
Arc,
Over
A
Black
So
Dense
And
Dark,
It
Shivered
In
The
Light,
And
Everything
Just
Right,
Chaotic
Life
Made
Sense,
The
Work
My
Recompense.

She
Does
Not
Dress
For
Business,
And
Really
Doesn’t
Seem
To
Care
What
She
Wears,
Flip
Flops,
Shorts,
Or
Leather,
Depending
On
The
Weather.
Every
Day
At
Eight
A.M.
She
Saunters
By
And
Every
Day
I Wonder
Why,
And
Where
She
Goes
In
Such
Odd,
Mismatched
Clothes.

Just
When
I Have
Somewhere
Important
To
Go,
I Woke
Up
To
A
Fresh
Fall
Of
Snow.
I Consider
This
A
Low
Blow,
Since
All
Week
I Awaited
Spring.
Obviously,
This
Was
Not
The
Thing
Our
Gods
Had
In
Mind,
And
Put
Me
In
A
Travel
Bind.
I’ll
Wade
Out
At
Nine
With
An
Anxious
Heart,
To
See
If
My
Car
Will
Start.
…
Cheers!
A
Gift
From
Heaven,
My
Appointment
Now
At
Eleven.

Baby,
It’s
Just
You
And
Me,
One
More
Cup
Of
Coffee,
One
More
Cup
Of
Tea,
And
We
Can
Try
To
Hash
Out
What
It’s
All
About.
Time
Has
Gone
By
In
A
Streak,
A
Year
Becomes
A
Week
And
Yesterday
Is
Far
Away.
Wounds
Heal
And
Scars
Transit
The
Flesh
Like
Ragged
Stars
In
A
Galaxy
Of
Time,
Life
A
Steady
Climb
To
Reach
What
We
Can
Never
Find,
But
I’ve
Got
You
And
You’ve
Got
Me,
Lots
Of
Coffee
And
Loads
Of
Tea.

*Picasso* Girl Before A Mirror
Blind
Custom
Hems
Us
In
Before
We
Can
Begin
Free,
As
Humans
Long
To
Be,
And
Yet,
To
Our
Regret,
We
Cannot
Live
Together,
Each
Our
Own
True
Self,
That
Lost
One,
Hidden
On
A
Forgotten
Shelf.

*Duy Huynh* Escape Into Life
To
His
Everlasting
Sorrow,
Love
Will
Not
Be
There
Tomorrow.
Staying
Faithful
Became
Hard,
And
In
One
Hour
Of
Disregard,
He
Tore
It
All
To
Ragged
Shards.
He’ll
Go
Right
On,
The
Cracks
Won’t
Show,
But
In
His
Heart
He
Knows
He
Broke
His
Word,
And
Heaven
Heard.

As
If
Alive,
The
Statue
Stands,
The
Chiseled
Product
Of
An
Agile
Hand,
In
Youth
And
Beauty
Wrought
From
Stone,
Elegantly
Alone,
Frozen
In
An
Artful
Pose,
Glorious,
Even
Without
A
Nose.
I Despise
The
Vandals
Of
The
Past,
To
Desecrate
Their
Only
Task,
And
Even,
Worse,
I Have
To
Say,
The
Dolts
Are
Still
Around
Today.

Oh,
Hearts,
Hearts,
Squandered
Before
We
Know,
Nothing
Left
To
Show,
Then
Lo,
Some
Chance
Occurs,
A
Word,
A
Sigh,
And
Bubble
Trouble
Floats
To
The
Sky.
This
Is
The
Love
You
Waited
To
Find,
The
Very
One
You
Always
Had
In
Mind.

Hearts
And
Dreams
Collide
In
Wide
City
Streets,
Meet
And
Jostle
For
Space
In
The
Daily
Emotional
Race,
Endeavoring
To
Trace
The
Beginning
Or
Perhaps
The
End,
Striving,
Choosing
To
Bend
Or
Break,
And
Laden
With
Hope,
Learn
Hourly
How
To
Mend.

A
Bird
Flew
Into
The
Window
With
A
Thwack,
Fell
Back,
Stood
On
The
Porch
And
Rested.
I’ve
Seen
Him
In
The
Yard
This
Week,
Gray
Breasted,
Decurved
Beak.
He
Hit
The
Glass
Hard,
Baffled
By
The
Sun.
He’s
Not
The
Only
One.
I Myself
Have
Been
Dazzled
By
A
Glittering
Reflection,
And
Flown
Quite
The
Wrong
Direction.
