lucky 13

i keep my notions in a cache

of digitalization

three thousand such or so i stash

right here in Gary Nation

and if you read this i am glad

and if you like it i rejoice

we share the journey i have had

and you have heard my online voice.

..

it was a different life i led

way back in twenty twelve

a night clerk in a red-rocked stead

with passions yet to delve

flash forward through this decade-plus

new friends and venues, loves and loss,

and constancy with some of us

and cherishing beneath the gloss.

..

Friends, my soul swells with the warmth you radiate. The most important part of my journey is the heart-to-heart interaction with those I admire and laugh with and love. May we all cherish each other whole-heartedly!
