A fun Etheree for Tanka Tuesday that asks help to bloom into my purpose. And if I don't mend my selfish ways, I deserve to be hurled to the moon, never to return. Imagine that! Thanks for reading.
Having ordinary days. Want to reach out to you with an extraordinary piece of music that bathe me with warmth and gentle happiness today. Be well my friends.
Do old photos send you down memory lane? Or do you care not about the past? I'm a softie for old photos and for old things that obviously hold secrets and good memories. Hope this poem sits well with you. Enjoy.
