My Dragon Fly and Me
If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly!
By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone
On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and me...
And we would wing past our lovers silent in the night... to kiss their face in our flight much to their surprise and delight my Dragon Fly and me in sight...
Such a view do we share away up here in the air of breezes soft through our hair my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Memoirs
The long road, it falls away before me,
and I strain to see the place yet unseen,
over hill and dale, across glens along an azure sea.
The wind sings of distant places out there,
and I set my load and into the wind I lean,
seeking the new along the road with special care.
My journal, filled each night by the fire,
holding a story of places Ive not yet been,
and I read them in renewed wonder, until I finally tire.
One day I shall set them in order, mark it clear,
so another may take a journey from a chair then,
and see the many wonders my memories do hold so dear.

My dad sent that quote to me yesterday, or was it the day before.
Yesterday, I had a very scary reaction to an antibiotic,
and having walked that close to the valley of the shadow of death,
my pen fell silent for a day.
Maybe two! Today I may be recovering from yesterday.

Oh dear, so sorry. I have had those reactions too, and they are scary. Did you get the hives?? That's usually what happens to me. Did you have to take steroids?? I have been that road, too.

Food for Thought.
If all your troubles were hung on a line
You would take yours
And I would take mine.
Anon
Because you have
occasional low spells of despondence,
don't despair
The sun has a sinking spell
every night,
but it rises again all right
the next morning.

I turned boiled lobster red over most of the body I could see, had a horrendously painful stomach spasm and a lower gi housecleaning, disorientedness, and uncontrollable shivers. No itching, no hives, and I am lucky that I didn't have breathing difficulties. I was home alone, and all I could do after the tummy problems eased off was crawl into bed.
No more augmentin for me!
They put me on Biaxin instead. So far, so good. All this because my 17 year old keeps bringing home infections for me. Flu, then an upper respiratory virus, which in my case, went into a sinus infection. I have had one upper respiratory thing wrong after another since December, when it started with an ear infection.

Oh my goodness.
I am aware of the turning lobster red, too, along insane itching. I was hospitalized one time and given adrenalin shots to help my breathing.
No fun this stuff.
Prayers offered for a full recovery today.

No itching! God spared me that one! But my skin is still tender.
(I had nervous hives for most of 6 months. I know how awful that can be!)

"Ah, nice poem, you're riding your bike again."
Nope, due to the lack of hiring around here I had to sell my bike. (hard to do!) Otherwise we wouldn't have had much of a Christmas, living out of the truck! Sad to be 'over-qualified' refused a job because you know how to work, want to work and so forth

Tipping Points
In the space of a single moment,
In the space of a heartbeat,
an inhaled breath,
everything we know can change.
Conception,
one moment, just a single person there,
the next,
two lives,
two persons,
two souls.
Death,
one moment there,
alive,
a enfleshed soul,
the next,
an empty husk.
Salvation -
One moment,
lost in the darkness,
the next,
touched with the healing light
of the loving God
who longs to hold us.
In the space of a single moment,
In the space of a heartbeat,
an inhaled breath,
everything we know can change,
tipping points
that reach out to eternity.
