About This Author

A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

Time

Time.
It expands, contracts. Never static.
Consider the beginnings of summer
stretching out to infinity,
or the sixth hour of labour
when each tightening lasts forever.
Consider the days awaiting Christmas
when each day feels like a week,
or the diagnosis
giving you a finite number of days to live.
It drags interminably, or flies
swift as an arrow at a target.
Perception coloring speed:
except that time--
never stays within the lines.
