My eyes are green, my hair is silver and I freckle; the rest is subject to change without notice. - Anne McCaffrey

Don't leave me alone!
A cry in the night,
Of anguish heart-stiking,
Of soul-killing fright.

Live for my living
Or else I must die
Don't leave me alone.
A world heard that cry.

I have a shelf of comfort books, which I read when the world closes in on me or something untoward happens.

My nightly craft is winged in white, a dragon of night dark sea.
Swift born, dream bound and rudderless, her captain and crew are me.
We've sailed a hundred sleeping tides where no seaman's ever been
And only my white-winged craft and I know the wonders we have seen.
