When I think back on all the times that were
—and weren’t
My mind rewrites the answers to the questions
—never asked
To set the time that’s left on fire
—in joyful hope
To rhyme the final ending line
—with one last wish
(Bryn Mawr College: January, 2020)
Yes Plus No Refrain
Living between the spaces,
of what never came to pass
The light rays self-divided,
the present from the past
Living within the moment,
no time to lose or gain
The choices made inversely
—in yes plus no refrain
(Rosemont Pennsylvania: January, 2020)

Kurt,
Your first couplet is uncannily befitting at this time.
āWhen I think back on all the times that were
āand werenātā
Iāve been stuck there for a while now. Iām summoning my tiramisĆ¹ to pull me out!
Itāll take some time, but Iām confident it will happen!
Thank you for sharing āOne Last Wishā.
Reading it confirms much about what Iāve been feeling and thinking lately. Now I have to do something about it!
~Laura~
Honored if it helps!
Yes, it does help!
Thank you.š
