I mentioned that the poem, Priceless Heroes, was appearing in about 100,000 copies. There has been some feedback on it, which I think worthwhile to share.
The poem’s idea was to thank and sympathize with those medical personnel who have been on the front line throughout the pandemic.
I am grateful to be recognized for my poem.
I thought this was very special. Sometimes things come together better than expected. You can find the poem on the entry here titled, “Priceless Heroes,” or you can read it in one of the News & Views magazines. I am very grateful for the opportunity to do such work.
There is a group on Facebook, of which I am a member, called 14 Words For Love. I do not often participate in the group because I have other things, but I played last night. These were liked, so I am sharing them here.
I hold in my heart Love enough to continue Living for today, Tomorrow, yesterday.
Letters scrambled, words Gathered, lines set together, Becoming message, Pointing forward toward love, Light.
Prompt: Restrictions can be challenging. Pick several words or colors to work with and create something.

I sit at his side Listening attentively, Learning as we go, Not what is thought, how we are, Friends, even a wee bit more. Knowing the pieces Covered, before other worlds, Holding such secrets As might be misunderstood If bared in the public square. Not ordinary, But nothing needs explaining; The music continues Spinning out careful magic Who we are, we want to be. Dreams become unreal Still fulfilling unknown tastes, Sorting out the problems, mess, In time to leave the distress. We cannot claim us Yet, there is evident a bond, Sweeter than loneliness, A connection made in time Outside the usual design. Hope flutters tattered Wings attempting beauty, flight, A word soft-spoken Is wind enough to lift dreams Into possibility – Knowing time the remedy, Clarity, to foster focus Bring all things together – alight.
Prompt: Observe your emotional temperament, look at what is present in your life, do they agree? Create something that exhibits your findings.
Thankful Today: When I woke up, it was 51 degrees in the house; I ran the logs, it is now 64 degrees. I walked over 20,000 steps. A tremendous variety of music is available for my listening enjoyment. Chicken. Chocolate.

The trees are now bare Branches like fingers pointing Out the emptiness Of a sky bleached free without Any pigment, adding soul. Still in hallowed halls Voices state more exists here Than unreasoning fate, Life is meant in love, faith, real Enough to cite deep fortunes. Us, never alone Though feeling nothing describes Our hearts time betwixt One moment in company Or darkness in hours apart. A well of sky swells Incomplete, because though there, Stars cannot be seen, Sun-drenched heavens obscure all That remains, always being. We, expecting more, Find, however, hard we look Somehow we are blind Because experience steals Our senses toward what we feel. Even names in our dreams Though given, known, lived – disperse Into fog forgot When eyes are closed, we are not, But feelings of urgency. On the ground, brown grass Waits the awakening brought By calendar turns Where warmth swift begins, returns, Like embraces of one beloved.
Prompt: Words are love, life, the making of reality. Explore using creativity to express things you wish to see but hardly know. See how far you can stretch belief.
Gratitude: I had a wonderful lunch with Richard. I returned home. Wookie had not wholly destroyed things, though she made inroads toward it. Music, singing, dance. Strawberry Crème Cheese Danishes.
