Phillip Coffey: Placid View Placid View by Phillip Coffey Going through a dry spell though there is a flood of information in my salt and peppered head. Most of it spread inside the details of the internet-misleading just short of ultimately- spiritual death. Surely, we have more hope and sincerity in our streets to forbid unequivocally all the seedy following Of the distasteful hideous crimes against humanity-worse of all to the seasoned aged and innocence of children.

Calmness slowly returning, sought with my shared thoughts, love and laughter among the misty mountains in the placid view. 2022-04-29 22:51:21 | Comments | Printable version
