Whispering Pines (Photo Friday: Solitude)
***** Whispers, silent sighs of towering pines, inviting peaceful solitude. ***** Postaday:
Shifting Shades of Gray (Photo Friday: Black and White)
***** ***** Clear choice: Black or White, Save for some who toss; lost ‘tween Shifting shades of gray. ***** *****
Dandelion Dreams
‘A life well-lived’ she ponders: “What’s the meaning?” As days and seasons waterfall, cascade, And misdeeds from an ancient past remind, Becoming shard-like, sharp, (though memory fades). It seems so long ago, when they were younger, When blinded eyes ignored the rose-tint shade, As… Continue Reading “Dandelion Dreams”
Morning has broken!
Stillness settles in upon my soul Each dewy dawn before the world awakes, From distant towns and leas I hear the wave of waking birdsong welcoming the sun, Washing near as night skies fade away, The nightingale departs, his nocturne ends. Morning!
The Winding Path
“When did you know you were lost?” he asked (so wise), Since he’d been there and back, a long time yore he’d gone too far astray, his sad demise lay fossil-like: a starfish washed ashore. His journey was circuitous, yet sure of his intent, he… Continue Reading “The Winding Path”
Green Dream-scapes

Summertime (Photo Friday: Simplicity)
***** Lazy, languid morn, Dampened, sparkling blades of green A dogs life… indeed! ***** I marvel at the calm serenity I feel on viewing this photo – a simple snapshot of my Cavie’s first trip to the back yard on this dew-dampened morning.… Continue Reading “Summertime (Photo Friday: Simplicity)”

“He taught me how to read people’s eyes.” To know it’s never as it seems; it’s grey. He told me, too, to hear beyond the words of those who chose to obfuscate; betray. He showed me when to peer beyond their veils… Continue Reading “Acuity”
Clouds at my Feet (Photo Friday: Sky)
***** Above the ether, Ultraviolet, blue, aquamarine, Billowed, pillow fluffs ***** Postaday:
Perspective…through the chain link fence (Photo Friday, Haiku Friday)
***** Through the chain link fence, Poised, line drive headed my way, Second to first: Out! ***** Postaday:
Uncertainties
“There is no warning rattle at the door.” It blusters open; sudden, threatening gust, Sets hearts off-balance, birdlings unsecured, Alas, the squall uproots, destroys, disrupts. Unwilling gamers both, yet play we must, As choices tear our lives asunder hard, But soul-mates are forever tied, a trust… Continue Reading “Uncertainties”
Fences
We’re taught as tots to build our fences tall, From early days; protection from the world, We learn from watching those we love, appalled the flag of honesty is rare unfurled. We imitate, as guileless children, little girls and boys, who strive to be… Continue Reading “Fences”
