Promises, Promises
Promises, Promises Promises of a pink morning sky,a resplendent sun breaking dawn.White clouds of hope rise up so highwe are born, we live and pass on. Some promises never come truewhen hardship and sadness abound.A tall pile of bills overdue,teardrops falling upon the ground. Promises of husband and wifetempered with blessings and sorrow.A curve inContinue reading “Promises, Promises”
Dragon Hunters
Dragon Hunters Linen clouds drift by,dragon hunters swift and spry,morphing in the sky. Fluffy figures faircast their magic everywhere,marching through the air. Let’s chase the gold sunlike china dolls on the run;the hunt has begun. Through marshes we wade,hues of emerald and jade,as pastel skies fade. The darkness descends;hidden deep inside the glenis the dragon’sContinue reading “Dragon Hunters”

Golden Parachutes
Golden Parachutes On Monday mornings I wake up with dread.My heart is pounding, gut heavy with rocks,Exploding pressure cooker in my head…Bracing for chaos as I punch the clock. Mountains of emails and telephone calls,Dealing with problems and bad attitudes.I’m losing all patience, hitting the wall…I’d like just one moment of solitude. The week isContinue reading “Golden Parachutes”
Bells on Christmas Eve
Bells on Christmas Eve Jupiter aligned with Saturnand winter took a bitter turn.Our flashlights scanned the galaxy as the hoot owl whispered softly. Do you remember hearing bellsjingling as Christmas Eve snow fell?By my window cold and icy,as the hoot owl whispered softly. Where did you go? Why did you leave?Bells break the silence as IContinue reading “Bells on Christmas Eve”
Dreams of the Rainbow Bridge
Dreams of the Rainbow Bridge Somewhere far over the rainbow,beyond the mountains and seas,there is a place of peace and beautywhere the cats and dogs run free. My dreams have been invaded,colored by memories so sweet.I saw you running in the distance;my heart skipped several beats. I tried to shout, mouth frozen,no sound escaping myContinue reading “Dreams of the Rainbow Bridge”

To Mingle With Shooting Stars
To Mingle With Shooting Stars These tired bones ache and the futile tears fall undetected, unrelenting, like soft rain on a summer day. The wind stills in deference to a radiant light rising up, drawing closer, closer as I crawl to the precipice. I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap inContinue reading “To Mingle With Shooting Stars”
