Dear Universe,

Up here on the roof I can't see a damn thing
I'm shivering in the dark and want to go inside
I'm a thin reed in the early winter mountain wind
I am as we all are, so unknowingly
within inches of my life
blind to the mere footfalls from the edge
but taking in a phantom powder moon
over a sweet potato sky,
on its knees singing arias over every second of our lives.

  1. Kate! Drop me a line one of these days! I'd love to chat with you and catch up before you head off to parts unknown. I'm sure it will be quite an adventure.
    I've been thinking of you

  2. Sweet Kate,
    Love every minute of the travel and adventure. Keep your camera ready. Write about what you see, but most of all, write about what you feel.

    You make me want to back my bags (lightly) again!
