***** Joyous first meeting, Kindred spirits know their own Forever faithful. ***** Postaday:
Healing Hibernation
November… I know because a gray cloud cloaks my soul, I stand upon the brink of day, though predawn sky’s still dark. I trust a spark of morning’s bursting light will soon burn through, Lifting fog, creating clarity, Slash a way to scrape through buried pain, Acceptance. It will… Continue Reading “Healing Hibernation”
With Pen in Hand…
“Every man is guilty of all the good he didn’t do.” Voltaire As autumn swings into its waning arc, I’m thoughtful, as in days and times of yore, Reminding, with its ‘Technicolor’ parks, Dismissing summer ‘lush’ that came before. The parable for life,… Continue Reading “With Pen in Hand…”
Translucence
Cabernet canvas, Life through crystal goblet lens, Vibrant synergy. It’s always Interesting to view the world from a different perspective…i.e. through a wineglass!
Echoes
While sloshing through the fallen leaves I spied, A camouflaged encumbrance; steps of stone, A long-forgotten staircase wedged long-side my brambled forest path, I stood alone. Transfixed, confounded, searching for the home or structure high on hill, to which it led, Yet finding none,… Continue Reading “Echoes”
On Brightwood Pond (Photo Friday: Autumn Colors)
***** Robin-egg blue, Mirror still lake reflections, Fallen gold afloat. > ***** Postaday:
Bridget and My Butterfly
When days are fraught with storm clouds looming o’er my life, I’m juggling many balls in air, When piling on and on, I’m on the floor, When hanging on is more than I can bear. I stop and pause, implore a desperate prayer, A… Continue Reading “Bridget and My Butterfly”
Between the Lines
***** She tried to reach them but they turned away, She sought to heal the scars of childish chills, She strained to listen, words they’ll never say to her, and yet she stands there waiting – still. She delved too deeply, saw beyond… Continue Reading “Between the Lines”
Harvesting Honey (Photo Friday: Blur)
***** Focus on your goals, Let all else blur to background, Rewards are honey-sweet. ***** Postaday:
Home
The whine of tyke bikes, go carts whirring by, The block where long our house is standing tall, The lawn of seven shades of bluegrass rye, While I, from front-porch rocker, watch it all. We pedal ’round the town, inhaling Fall The nippy, clear,… Continue Reading “Home”
Stripes and Shadows (Photo Friday: Panorama)
***** Stripes and shadows long, languorous, lagoon launch-watch, Mid-day reverie. *****
Pre-Dawn Reflections
Echoes, shadow-whispers in the gray, Before the day when night is nearly gone, Lend prism-like perspective on my days. Web-like, o’er the wispy willows play, A spectral, thin array before the sun, Echoes, shadow-whispers in the gray. They flood my senses, jagged, on… Continue Reading “Pre-Dawn Reflections”
