Though the pain pierces my heart I see couples and children together Someday, I whisper, this will be my reality It is a dream A seed of possibility Hope lingering for me I reach out and grasp it Grief will have its end Fullness shall come back to me Until that time, there is light Patiently, I wait Knowing I will meet my reality All in good time For Abba is always good to me. 12-28-19

Aura was known in all circles to be a ‘true balancer’ and would come to have ‘Adjudicator’ and ‘Justice’ as her call signs even before she was born. To protect her from the influence of the Sith, Tirk did his best to hide her away in a sanct...

In the bleak midwinter Windowpanes shimmer with colors A kaleidoscopic array to emblazen the eyes Everywhere I look Gingerbread houses brighten the darkness Just like my spark of hope Newness shall spring from the shadows The dawn will break again I make peace with patience As I glow bright Blazing brilliantly Just like Christmas lights. 12-22-19

Falling from the sky Pearlescent pure fluff Falling cool upon my tongue I marvel at each fractal As it dazzles my eye Accumulating to blankets of white A Christmas snow Right before celebrating Carte blanche Begin again Wash all things anew Under blankets of white Quietly the suburbs sleep With visions of brotherhood Civility and peace. 12/16/19

Lena had broken Magica’s hold on her but even though Magica had been betrayed by ...

Banker's Fieldhouse was positively packed with humanity.   All walks of human beings were in attendance.  If only a Washington DC summit could be this peaceful !   Celine opened with 'All Coming Back to Me' and she sang all her standard favorites.  I enjoyed her songs immensely and loved the costume changes.  She had more costume changes than a Bollywood movie !   She even had a medley where she sang Bowie, Mercury, Prince and Houston all together.  I knew every song and I was singing loud and proud, unashamed.   I figured the Queen of Ballads would serenade us once more at the end with an encore.  Great artists usually do.   She treated us to My Heart Will Go On, which is her signature song and one she is famous for.   I cried when she sang Courage, because it is a song about losing someone you love and having the strength to continue even when you feel you cannot.  It is a song that is hard hitting and empowering.  ...
