A Waste of Time – Prosery
A Waste of Time We spent a lifetime not even knowing each other. Spinning our wheels with failed marriages and empty relationships.

Sailing
Sailing Teak decks warm to the bare foot Soft wind blowing the sails of romance Pure white against a backdrop of grey-blue skies and cotton puff clouds Tousled hair framing a face with sun-kissed cheeks The glowing embers of sunset reflected in her eyes and the delight of sailing in the smile ChristineContinue reading “Sailing”
