Lives … Midweek … A Wednesday

The lengthening ‘ding-dong’ of days
A city in speed-training for Summer
Our year of dual successes?

Light enters the room
The bed sheet covering my eye
An intrusive shower beckons

The blue eradication of clouds
Early daylight will recommend shade cover
A twilight will later bring calm

Forgetting the trivial
Stressing an essential
Life is enriched

Your smile brings pure joy
Emitting its beam of light
This soul must give back

Her hand interweaves my own
Invites my heart to respond
That pleasant pain in my chest

The quickening cloud
Finally brings the ecstasy
Of the Sun it reveals

Sweet talisman of the ‘we’…..

I especially enjoyed meeting many of your members at the ”meet-and-greet” after my presentation and hope you will invite me to return on a future occasion.

To be honored in the Poetry Competition with a submission that I squeaked in under the wire because I was afraid to enter is a validation beyond words. Being judged by a new group of peers is the highest honor and a moment that I will treasure...

I have been a Mensan for 30 years now and it has been a very rewarding experience, not only intellectually but also socially. The most rewarding experience as a Mensan is to give -- to give of yourself for the benefit of others.
