Poetry is Power: The stream in the sky

They blaze across the sky,

Leaving a stream of wonder behind,

A stream in the sky,

Wanting to be heard,

They dive through space,

Their stream full of stars,

Trying to tell stories,

Stories of whooshing through space,

With a great ball of fire,

Leading it all,

But the secret to its beauty,

Is all in its tail,

Its stream in the sky,

Kind of like the world,

It’s beautiful on its own,

But more powerful,

More amazing,

Truly more beautiful,

Because of the people living in it,

Think about that,

Each and every day,

You are the beauty to this world,

Believe it,

And soon enough,

You’ll know it,

You are this world’s beauty,

Thank you for that.

The nights have been hot as well, but the indoor air conditioning of our rented home is top notch, so sleeping isn’t an issue.  We awoke to dark, threatening clouds this…

Learning to drive in the 1960s

I often see a “Student Driver” car going by our house. There was no such vehicle back in the ‘60s because Mt. St Joseph Academy, where I was a student, didn’t have a driving instructor. During that era girls didn’t seem to be in any particular hurry to get their license. Boys were more eager…
