Sometimes

Kevin Anderson 1965 (Ill)

Sometimes the nearest voice is hardest to hear
So, come close and lend me your ear

Time and space we occupy; The five senses are shared exclusively among you and I

The sun rises and sets on our way; our path littered with minutes and moments to tick tick away

Our presence are our presents that seem are not clearly being received ; more than merely living amongst,  well, sharing more is what we need

I'll reach into the time-line and give you more of mine

I joined the United States Air Force in 1986, fully retired in 2016, 30 years of honorable service and of making life do what it does so I can do what I do when I do what I do communicating my thoughts or a few. more…
