Wake to Words and Brew Some Coffee (March 16, 2025)

 Friends! Several months have passed since our last session of Wake to Words and Brew Some Coffee. My dear friend Tim asked me the other day if I was done doing it, as he would stop checking if that were the case. That's when I realized that I had entered a lapse of silence that I didn't want to signal an end to our poetry gatherings. 

So, thanks to Tim for lighting the candle and holding it close to my elbow. And thanks to you, listeners, for checking back in and finding me again. That is often the way of life, isn't it? Welcome to all of us. I hope that you find something in today's poems to take with you in the coming days. 

Cheers, 

Erin
