Small voice within

I took this picture on my phone yesterday at "All Fired Up" a paint your own pottery place. I love that quote.....It is one of my favorites.


Today is our 19th wedding anniversary.
We are going out to dinner at Mustard Seed......my favorite.


In honor of our anniversary, I will post a poem that Mark wrote for me 7 years ago for
our anniversary....and yes..the motorcycle part is true.
have a great day!!
Namaste,
Michele


anniversary poem (for michele)

by Markk



once a guy in a bar full of drunks offered

me his motorcycle in exchange for you,

& for a second there i gave it some thought.



there's nothing like

the feel of the wind

full against the face

roaring 80 mph down

the asphalt ribbons

of america, the sunset

behind, a two-wheeled

shadow passing over

hard pavement, broken

white lines shooting past

like blurry bullets.



but then again, there's

nothing like a barbados sunset

a maui morning, the salty

san francisco waterfront,

melrose street in l.a., the

solitary tropical islands of

the bahamas, grand florida

palatial hotels, great silent

national forest campsites,

the utter madness of a

put-in-bay weekend, the

energy of lake chatauqua,

even the casa linda, with

hookers & junkies or a

tacky las vegas italian

restaurant with bad wine

& an accordian player.



there are three tiny comedians still asleep

upstairs while you're

downstairs looking for

your keys & shoes,



yeah, once a drunk guy offered up his

harley in exchange for you, but i turned

him down, & in the long run no doubt

i got the better end of that crazy deal
