Hello, my precious Readers. Spring has sprung!
Another honor to have my poem nesting in this lovely literary magazine.
I’m grateful to Editor: Michelle Ayon Navajas at The Hotel of Broken Hearts,
for publishing my poem.
“No one who achieves success does so without
the help of others. The wise and confident
acknowledge this help with gratitude.”
~ Alfred North Whitehead.
CELEBRATING LIFE
No More Sleepwalking
For Life Is Not A Dream
When life is lived with something less than awe and exaltation
Things are never quite what they appear to be
If the awoken sleepwalk mourning through life’s seasons
And the drowsed sleepers awake to a plexiglass dreamlike state
For a slumbering soul ain’t ever been heard of
And no dying dream a full life e’er could fulfill
Life is precious when it is lived fully awoken
Despite tribulations, sorrows, pain, and change
This Life is real and please, make no mistaking…
Friends, may I entice you to continue reading the rest of the poem
at

Thank you most dearly.
I celebrate you.
