I relish the feeling of crisp new pages,
the scent of ink in the air.
Some, may speak of enchanted places.
A handsome prince, a maiden fair.

it definitely gets your attention.
When He asks, “Do you trust me?”
it takes it to a whole new level.
Tonight, my spouse and I watched
another episode of Early Edition,
season two, entitled
“Angels and Devils”.
I am a dog lying in the doorway, a casual observer of clouds, filled with excitement, I run, spin, fall, arise, and do it again. I am an explorer of worlds, paddling down a stream. seeing old places as though new. filled with life and thought.

It’s funny how something as innocent as a mirror
can be the downfall of so many people.
