A GIFT FROM A FRIEND
In the early afternoon the heart shaped crystal prism slowly turns in the window behind me. Reflecting the sunlight and sending out beams of light around the room, it reminds me of meteors and shooting stars. My own private light show.

I came across this while going through my fits, starts and fragments file a while back.
We should all do all we can
to help each other
nurture our spirit flames
so each of us continues
to grow
and to glow
and to shine
from within...
from the very
white hot
blue flame
center of our souls

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen…”
