While driving to Pathmark to pick up some provisions I was hit with some thoughts that though not poem worthy(for now atleast), still notable.
As I drove down Durham Rd. I glanced over my left shoulder. And behold, there he was. The great betrayer. Mr. F. Moon in all his radiant glory. The one who is to inspire romance. Who songs have been written about. That, for the exception or werewolves, is something to anticipate. Little would I know he would play a part in determing the outcome of my relationship with my love.
Then I pondered the effects of PMS, perimenopause, and the very existence of hormones altogether. I already knew that I was woefully inept in dealing with the outward signs of the female affliction. So inept. Then, as if I wasn't already at a handicap, the two conditions conspired against me. I never saw it coming. Never had a chance.
I wish that I was smarter, wiser, calmer, stronger, kinder, patient, loving, etc. Sounds like the makings of a fruit(of the Spirit) salad.
Another thought was about my own life. The sense of loss. That it seems to be a series of short term gains in the midst of long term heartaches and losses. A feeling that nothing has changed since my youth. And if that is the case, wishing I could give up the ghost and go home. But alas, that is not my choice. So how long this time? When will I feel normal again? Not even looking for the next short term gain. Just normalacy. No more hope deferred. Peace.

stirring, BT. Sounds as if old man Moon's got your number too! I wrote a poem about PMS once.it's in the archive somewhere. I'll have to dig it up. Thanks for your entry here, BT. I like your writing style. You really should do a blog of your own! :)
Dearest G,
Thank you for posting my entry and thank you for the pictures posted. You have a certain knack for such things. And as well you know, it is by your prompting and inspiration that my words have found meaning and a home. You are the catalyst whereby I have moved from mere thoughts to written words. You are the teacher and I,the student. Because of your confidence in my ability, I too am more sure. I long for the day when there is no night and Mr. Moon may no longer work his mischief.
BT
i look forward to more of your postings, BT. Let the day begin!
Well you have your peaceful life and that’s a huge blessing. Here we are almost 15 years later, still friends.
Lots has happened but not much has changed. Funny how we can know this much more of our stories. God also remains the same, still unfolding His perfect plan in our lives in His perfect way. ��������❤️������
