Flying

<p><em>For us time only rolls one way;</em><br /><em>There is no going back.</em><br /><em>Nothing that you or I can do</em><br /><em>Will stop it rolling on its track.</em></p><p><br />Patricia Mortenson is a reserved person who rarely shares her thoughts.</p><p>In her debut collection Mortenson offers short poems that lyrically and sometimes humorously share unsolicited advice; uncomfortable observations; reflections on health sweetness and light; unpopular opinions; and random thoughts that touch on not just her life but also her family and the outside world. While leading others on a journey inward Mortenson encourages all of us to take a few moments to examine our own paths through life filled with joys sorrows and unique experiences that help us decide who we are and what we project into the world on a daily basis.</p><p><em>Flying</em> is a volume of introspective poetry that examines the intricacies of life through the eyes of a senior who has experienced much in life.</p>
