Incredible wordsmithing as always and the sentiment so well communicated. It’s a joy to listen to your work. Thank you for sharing your talents. Each word is a precious, deliberate jewel to be examined and possessed.

I just wrote one … just now, it’s called Happiness:
Happiness surely seeks to find,
a peaceful heart and patient mind.
And with a peaceful heart ensnared,
and patient mind so long prepared,
a happy thought will turn to say,
with this goal won we won’t delay.
ON! To renew this happy trend!
We’ll just adjust these goals again.

Such a weaving of imagery with the shapes of words. I’m torn between wanting to simply let it wash over me, and wanting to grab hold of phrase after phrase to search their meanings. I will listen repeatedly to try for both.

The links in the description are just to twitter, instagram, and "website" and not, you know, Laura. Just a heads up!
