229 Minutes, 44 Seconds

About This Author

A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

229 Minutes, 44 Seconds

229 minutes, 44 seconds--
length of a phone call,
or number of smiles
reaching beyond a distance
of that many miles.

Within the hollowed courses
of phone wires strung out,
emotions play at will.
Sheer distance holding
love at bay, even still.

As two souls share thoughts
no lulls impede life or laughter.
Far flung future beckons
down the road, across the country--
beyond 229 minutes, 44 seconds.
