  It’s been almost the entire year, but writing has been harder than normal. The words would come into my head but my fingers were not aligning. This afternoon, Frank Sinatra’s ‘All the way’ played in my mind and the words tumbled out of my mouth, and felt it in my heart. Love in its simplest way, is meant to be all the way. And that's more than business. Can one really love all the way? What does being all in mean? As I think on this, loving forever is probably what you get when you're all the way! 2023, I’ve had some highs and lows, good and bad times, and a few in-between times.

  My Happy Alarm – The Dawning   Dawning light shatters my sleep Forgetting the dreams, I wanted to keep My slumber was happy with no end in sight But then came the dawning ending my night.   The shimmering light cascaded to me Waking me up from a wonderful sleep The moment is here another day has begun The dawning has brought out a glimmer of sun.   My feet came out from under the covers And looking out through my window the birdies did hover As I sat for a second, inhaled deeply, looking at them play Welcome to this dawning, and a new day.   I got ready to go outside to my desk With coffee in hand, fully awake from my rest I’m looking forward to tonight when I will once again get to sleep Till I see you tomorrow, dawning- do not peep!   26 th Jan 2021   Photo Credits: unsplash.com/ Kurt Liwanag Copyright © 2021 Dwordslayer& Donna-Luisa Eversley.
