Earlier in the week I attended the hospital for a ‘one-day’ procedure, and my recovery from the effects of the anesthetic has lingered on for a few days, so my poem from January 2022 is quite an appropriate “Throwback Friday” article for today.
Is There More?
Beyond my front door
Will there be more?
When the lights a dim
I quietly sit and stare
To see what is out there
Is there more?
Than starlit stairs
And when will I?
Begin the climb

Last part of your sentence was missing, but I think I’ve realised what it might be. I’ve missed a lot of your posts because I’ve not been well. Nothing major, I just keep catching stuff one after the other. 🙂💛
