Reading my poems for others help me connect to the writing in a new and better way. I'm excited to have a song update and some new writing today. Updated Lyrics to On the Edge of Death Verse I walk this morning To keep my body up Moving, strong in my mind Life seems so long when I do this Chorus There's no reason not to try so hard There is no diagnosis in life It's what we lead  What we do Living on the edge of death Verse Eventually I'll ride across the sky in a tram To my favorite hiking path Through the woods with its deep, twisting turns of isolation in it's hills Of closed off destinations  That I scare to deep in my insides But feel more life Chorus Verse I still have a list of things to do I tire to in my mind That I can't hold for long Make donuts Ride that tram Make that hill I will not die Breathe...

We'll see if it stays with that piece. Here's the layout. My Starfish Verse Beauty that is beautiful even if it’s not perfect Beauty distorted on purpose to show new beauty A home is being made in the mind People and their opinions are so scattered about the flying starfish moves for me as the sand cascades it’s waves like magic rushes of water Chorus the flying starfish move for me my friend I’m an outcast life hasn’t turned out like I planned as the sand cascades like magic rushes of water equal to the power of the sea movement I have no control over Verse newly learned with you beside me my mark, my internal wounds long term affects on my body move for me starfish as she lays back sleeping so eloquently that’s all she can do holding her hand learning to lov...

Image by  Asta Zaiceva-Stalmakova  from  Pixabay I found my own angelic connection with this writing. Of course I can't find the full meaning a this point but I wanted to share where I am with it now.  Sometimes when I can't see clearly it's a gift. When I started writing this I found a connection to my back that has been injured where I find a hard time moving. I'm not sure where it's going now but it's interesting. My Starfish Beauty that is beautiful even if it’s not perfect Beauty distorted on purpose to show new beauty A home is being made in the mind People and their opinions are so scattered about My dreams are close I can see the ocean and feel its breeze My life is opening to me with its hands reaching wide My eyes, head, ears, are receiving receiving a long awaited feeling of love and confidence with years of independent to a second childhood the flying starfish move for me my friend I’m an outcast life hasn’t turned out like I planned as the sand casc...

 Unfortunately it has come to my realization that podcasting is no more beneficial to me. Being a woman on my own platform is very hard to discuss what I want to say without so much interference. Making projects of art: writing, singing, photography in my poetry books, sharing my life in stories and pictures is a love that is easy no matter what is being done. I've found to ensure my highest health I will continue with this.  I'm so grateful for the love and support I've had along the way in this venture and I will continue to share my honest truth  as I can see it at the time about life in my work. I will surely miss this road of my life but definitely feel the connecting already in my work to come. Bless this world. Video Frees song " I Put On My Gloves " by Lori.
