Living Well — Dying Well
precepts of destiny
bookends of fate
(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
+ —
Patience and time
Courage or fear
Pleasure then pain
Smiles and tears
Future and past
Joy or remorse
Vision when blind
Blessing or curse
Borrow or steal
Praise and then blame
Life unto death
Loss or a gain
Reason and anger
Random or fate
Plussing the minus
— open the gate
(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
Body & Soul
Disease …
robs you
of your health
Dementia …
robs you
of yourself
(Dreamsleep: February, 2024)
