I can’t help but capture your vibrancy,
despite your humming need for privacy.
Your color palette eagerly awaits,
and you hold wisdom beyond words and other’s fates.
Stems crossed, I see the way you stand with poise,
ready for your next dance step with musical lingering noise.
Some, as you, hold the spotlight with ease,
and the eyes of the audience are just as eager honeybees.
Your sighting just ceasefires my breath,
until my lungs start to burn and dwell on death.
But it’s very much, ALIVE time and more,
as I remind all those around me to live and that it’s certainly not a chore!

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Well-wrought! It is not life which is the chore, but circumnavigating the Machiavellian machinations of those who would try to dictate another's life rather than live their own!
This was blooming with life—felt like a pep talk wrapped in petals.
I loved “ceasefires my breath” Beautiful
I really just enjoy this! I feel like this is refreshing in a way as I read it.
So lovely ♦️♦️♦️♦️
