left alone
I built my fortress
with characters
and their precious
imaginary response
this lion is now tired
of catering to my whims
there’s a long path ahead
unwinding slowly
taking me
to the real world
Will the world catch up
with my almost lost
childhood years
and take it ahead
from there?

Beautiful, Reena ❤
Much love,
David

Good question, Reena. The world,at present, is busy with, who will take the control, or it always was. Who cares for so many war victims?

Beautiful, Reena! I have similar thoughts watching my grandson grow. At some point the real world will interrupt his innocent play.

Thanks a ton, Chris!
I often find myself worrying about your state of health. Then I cut out the thought saying “She is a strong person. She will overcome.”
Ease with language is the crux of a writer’s existence.

Good point, but I just say, ‘go for the flow’, at least at the moment.
