Twinkling eyes, they smoothly look at the Christmas tree.
Tenderly sketching the ornament that is adored by me.
Reaching out to the lights all around.
I hear music playing in the background.
Smooth shiny glowing balls.
She gently placed it for fear of falls.
I am warmly engaged at the twinkling star.
I shut my eyes, thinking of those from afar.
I am finishing my artistic sketch and ready to frame.
Smoothly, I don't feel the same.
Looking up, I touch the tree.
Sentiments of love surround me.

Sunsetting Pride 2024
Happy Pride! As Pride Month 2024 begins to sunset, I want to congratulate every individual who has become brave enough to take control of their life and live as their authentic, beautiful self. This is a month when it highlights those accomplishments. From acceptance within families and friends to acknowledgement in the political arena. Starting with Stonewall (and events prior) leading to the Supreme court ruling for same-sex marriages. We are here, we are queer, and we should never live in fear.
