Passion for writing ignites my soul's momentum

Onramp for freedom is just ahead but all considered, I will not push forward, am fragile, misinterpret signs. Add to it isolation – who can blame me…. Move! Move with the throngs! Set your intentions, correct and change direction – take a tangent even – future is just around the corner….. Wears me out; I […]
