apparently created
by a composite of my hopes
my wishes for an alter-ego
made of rainbows contained
in glass, that rolls around
life with ease
knowing its purpose
is to help me travel
over jagged edges
knowing its purpose
is to help me travel
over jagged edges
that don't bend.
You asked me to write about you.
I did but kept you hidden
in a little manuscript
where you hibernate
waiting for me to wake
you, to expose
your warm, marble-ous gift to myself,
to others who may welcome
your existence.
I keep saying, "Someday."
You persist in gentle whispers,
"Now, please."

Oh Myrna, DO create that book. There are so many easy online self-publishing places, like lulu.com, where they give you the template, it is easy, I have done a number of books this way. Think what a gift it would be to give your grandchildren. E me, I'll help you!
