No Closure
No Closure Your strangled voice echoed down the stairwell;Horrific words, a dagger to the heart.Like a heavy anvil, the sorrow fell…A bone crushing weight that tears one apart. Emotions scatter like leaves on the breeze;A free spirit, you reveled in your youth.Your beautiful soul riddled with disease…We struggle to accept this painful truth. No closure,Continue reading “No Closure”
Hummingbird
Hummingbird I dreamt I was a hummingbirdPursuing melodies unheard.Borne on the wind, so wild and free…In search of my true destiny. My silken wings carry me farBeyond the moon and shining stars,Above the weeping willow trees…In search of my true destiny. Cool waters beckon me to land,Reflections cast upon the strand.I looked, but all IContinue reading “Hummingbird”
Misty Eyes
Misty Eyes Little voices call out so sweet,Pitter patter of tiny feet.Smiles that light my indigo skiesAs tears of love sting misty eyes. Finger painted hands, work of art,Silly giggles that steal my heart.Moments cherished with each sunrise,As tears of love sting misty eyes.

In the Wilderness
In the Wilderness In the wilderness, the word itself is beautiful musicfrom summer cricket songs to moth’s wing flicks,cool nights bedecked with planets and radiant starsfar and away from the cacophony of rumbling cars. In the wilderness, the rolling river bends and flows,trickling down to all the places that silence goes.Rhythmic lapping, gentle beneath aContinue reading “In the Wilderness”
Stark Beauty Beckons
Stark Beauty Beckons Cast off your blindfolds with open eyes,The golden dawn morphs in blue skies.Emerald grass with dewdrops pearled…Stark beauty beckons in this world.

Blue jays frolic in pure white snow,Deer cavortContinue reading “Stark Beauty Beckons”
