Structural Simplicity
Yarn over, two together, knit as one, Despite mere silken threads, the structure stays, Each filament enmeshed, complexly spun. At outset seeming too complex for some, Yet still, alluring grace lures all to play, Yarn over, two together, knit as one. One’s hesitance subsides when… Continue Reading “Structural Simplicity”
Tranquil
Tree limbs gently arching o’er the path Reaching to us, beckoning: “Please come!” As portal to a secret unknown place Neath which we’re tugged, encouraged toward the light Questions fall away, their sound un-uttered Unanswered, yet uncertainties are cleared Intrinsic and instinctive knowledge comes… Continue Reading “Tranquil”
Moon-Star
Amid the noise, distractions of these days, I oft begin to sense the churn, my head aching, tightening, gripping me in waves of undulating urgency and dread. The pundits and prognosticators plead, Conspiracies abound with buzz and malice, And failing to rebuke the blaring… Continue Reading “Moon-Star”

Sun-bathed
Flaming star that rises new each morn, These billion years forever has it been, Yet we, mere mortal specks amid the dawn, Still marvel, as if vision ne’er had seen. It casts it’s tint of fire on the scene So e’en when face is… Continue Reading “Sun-bathed”
Our Daily Bread
“To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul.” – Andri Cauldwell Inspired by the Photo Friday prompt (Rural) this week, I began a relentless search of my photo portfolio… Continue Reading “Our Daily Bread”
Birthday Treat
Chez Catherine…As I sipped my champagne, I knew there’d be more in store for later I was to receive the true icing on the cake: hearing my grandsons sing “Happy Birthday, Dear Grandma…Happy Birthday to you!”
