the years pass
like flickering lights on glass,
one
lined up after another—
and we save the happiest ones
in our tiny treasure boxes
in our dresser drawers
in a corner of our best selves
hoping to see them
reflected
within the frame
of the future
The Future

Yes, thank you ever so much! I have been completely absorbed in personal issues away from the computer and have only found myself working on my professional projects when sitting at my desk. Last night was the first time in over two weeks that I read some emails and looked over some blogs. I will read your post, most definitely!
