Bright lights, all around me, blinding,
Noisy streets, surround me, reminding
There’s no place to turn to, for quiet
Never been to the city? You must try it!
Different faces, and different names
Nothing here, is ever the same
Skyscrapers towering, larger than life
Hop in a taxi cab, things looking rife
Take in a show, have a drink at a bar
Go everywhere, find something bizarre
There’s nothing like it, not here, nor there
You’ll love taking in, NYC’s Times Square

You have to be willing to pull out all the stops
And you must be brilliant, in your approach
Staying hungry, will make you the best, the tops
Being cantankerous, will just make you a roach
Word of the Day – Tops
FOWC with Fandango – Cantankerous
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Hungry
Daily Word Prompt – Brilliant

I am honored to be able to tell of my experience and be a part of “Understanding – An anthology of true and significant life events“, a book which was compiled by, and includes, author Stevie Turner, along with 19 other authors/writers. The book is only $0.99 and all proceeds are going to cancer research.
From Amazon:
The following authors and bloggers kindly answered questions posed by Stevie Turner regarding significant life experiences they had undergone. These events include sexual abuse, a near death experience, alcoholism, being diagnosed with cancer, depression, losing weight, getting married, being a mother to many children, being the daughter of a narcissistic mother, and many more!
All proceeds will go to Cancer Research.

An Excerpt from my part:
A Near-Death Experience
Did you grow up believing that near death experiences occurred?
I grew up in a Catholic household. We were taught to believe in God and that Heaven was waiting for us when we died. My parents never spoke of anything beyond that but it was always in the back of my mind. What would happen if I almost died? Would I see God, heaven, would angels be singing? I’m still seeking some of those answers.
Are you psychic? Have you ever seen ghosts?
I am told I am Clairescencient. I often have spirits wandering my home. As long as they are not evil, I welcome them here. Otherwise, they get the boot. I can feel their pain, their desire to leave this dimension, unsure why they are still here. I have written about them many times in my poetry.
Are any other family members psychic?
Not to my knowledge. I have never heard any of them speak of it. My son does have the same sense I do, as far as feeling another presence, but does not communicate with them.
***********
To find out more about my experience, please consider purchasing the book. There are so many amazing stories contained within! Thank you!! ❤
