The sun is gleaming
so brightly that the snow is blinding.
The future’s so bright I’ve got to wear shades.

Every day another supporter, another booster,

another enthusiastic participant
in the waiting game asks, “WHEN?”
Soon, I assure them. Soon!

A flicker on the computer screen
“I hate to have to tell you…”
and a gleaming dream
is buried in a white out of
black uncertainty.
I don’t know now, I have to tell them
I can’t see anymore.

80 minutes ago I received word that the publisher for Grace Awakening is closing down in 30 days.  Grace was scheduled for release in 240 days.  That is 210 days too late, unfortunately.  Now we’re back to peddling a manuscript.  Poor Grace!
