A collaboration over too much coffee.
coffee and pen

Ruled by Mercury (Hg)

Mercurial appeal,
Quicksilver charms,
Making them kneel;
Inevitably disarmed.

Speeding through life,
A mother, a wife!
Untouched, unfazed,
Unmarred, unscathed.

No signs of adhesion,
No lasting impressions,
All touches tangential,
No impact substantial.

Born detached,
Ostensibly attached,
Volatile, intemperate,
Unbonded, separate!

Thanks Max! Your kind words are always appreciated.

Anonymous - right on target with the Stoicism.

Scribe - Thanks and yes, on most days this is the predominant feeling for me! Great to find a kindred spirit!
