Lisa,
How time flies like an arrow and fruit flies like bananas, as Groucho Max was fond of saying.

May this letter find you in good sorts. Where in the UK realm do you hail from? Are you a royal? What is the equivalent of a female knight called?

In the UK realm, there are royals and commoners. In the US realm are the wealthy and the poor. Close divisions based on traditions and economics. Become wealthy and popular and get knighted or become wealthy and popular and become a politician or possibly president. Made in the US portrays the heir to the throne, and his wife having little or no contact with non-whites and making no comments of communication when a non-white youth or adult is suspiciously whopped or beat or shot by police. Not so for victims who are white.

How long does it take a broken spirit to kill a body?

And so:

Creator's Daughter

What is this precious love and
laughter
Budding in our hearts?
It is the glorious sound
of a soul waking up

Knowledge of Creation is the food of Angels and food for thought in humans.

Needing A Mirror

Your
Eye
Is so wise
It keeps turning, turning
Needing to touch
Beauty
It keeps turning
Needing to find a mirror
That
Will caress you

Overstanding

So know someone here or there
With whom there is a feeling of
Overstanding in spite of thoughts
Or distances unexpressed, that can
Make of this Earth a garden.

Find A Better Job

Now
That
All your worry
Has proved such as unlucrative
Business
Why
Not
Find a better job?

Crooked Deals

There is a mad being
Inside of you
Who is always running for office
Run, run, run
Why vote them in
For they never keep the accounts
Straight
And get all kinds of crooked deals
Happening all over town
That will just give you a big headache
And give to your kisses
A gigantic
Confused
Frown

Care to discuss the poems? I'd enjoy hearing from you.

I am comfortable in this belief that hearing from you by letter would not be reason to be perplexed or have a feeling of aversion. I welcome you to find joy in one or more of these poems. I regret not being able to enjoy a conversation with you.

Tempered optimisim,
Paul Mitchell

Adventures in Black Sunshine
The Sun Never Says

Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look
What happened
With a love like that
It lights the
whole
sky
