He looked around and saw her laugh
The woman with her lover
She has a way of knowing
The world is hers to love
Moving through life
like waves hitting the sand
She met him in the hallway
and held hm with her eyes
The wind got louder
The earth disappeared
His heart lost its vision
As he awoke from his dream

MJ ,I read my poem today and it was verbally evaluated .The most interesting thing is that some of the people were giving their thoughts about the meaning of the poem and nobody was even close.
It is between me and three other poets to determine who will read to a National zoom audience . The show is Monday at 4 PM and I will not find out until Monday morning.

Hopefully Eric will have a wonderful post retirement life.I retired,was bored and spent the last 5 years of my work life in Advertising.I knew nothing about that and was reluctant to take the job but I left the company as Vice President .
