Howling at the Moon

Tiptoeing carefully,
trying to stay low key…
yet not everything
  is written black and white.
Find your music—
  dance without fear:
life’s too short not
   to make some noise!

For my brother, my best friend, who helped me find my voice; who taught me to "howl at the moon."

    1. "Foster" brother actually, Brian. Lost parents early, blessed with family at 16 that accepted me as theirs. Blessed with 1 "brother," 4 "sisters"-- closer than family, also dearest friends!
