Just What the Dr. Called For

Finally! I’m doing it --- again
sharing the essence of me that is
using my talents…again
having fun…again
living…again
its been a long time coming (I know )

Why have I put this off for so long?
as if turning from 15 to 41 wouldn’t happen so fast it makes my head spin.
did I forget how good it feels?
it’s like running barefoot through the sand on a bright sunny day.
its like floating in the Caribbean’s clear-yet-aqua-blue waters
…while its warmth embraces you
its like… its like…being free!!!

yesterday is long gone
tomorrow is not promised
today I’m a painter & writer -- again!
