and I pondered this curiously crazy lifeand the things I failed to grasp as a girlbut thought I understood nowas a softer , wiser womanI thought about life and death...I thought about tonight's dinner menu too...

I feel it in my bones now,time slowly slipping away.An urgency is building,to say all I didn't or couldn't say.I feel the need to pass on,the lantern of my life.Perhaps you may gain something,to help you through some strife.(excerpt from the poem: "I feel it in my bones")

Someone mentioned your name today,took me down memory lane,to a time very much younger, a time more pure, more sane.

Someone mentioned your name today,Took me down memory lane,To a time very much younger,A time more pure, more sane.
