Scattered Stardust
Scattered Stardust Southern skies beckon this warm summer night,Horizon stretching to infinity.As Venus and Mars cast radiant light,The Milky Way blossoms in full glory. Inhaling deep as the twilight unwinds,Emotions are steeped in indigo blue.I travel the galaxy in my mind,Endlessly searching for remnants of you. As the nightingale sings a mournful tune,I sense yourContinue reading “Scattered Stardust”

Hummingbird I dreamt I was a hummingbirdPursuing melodies unheard.Borne on the wind, so wild and free…In search of my true destiny.

Broken Clouds
Broken Clouds Ashen gray cloudshang low to the grounda thick layer of fogrising like dense smokeinfusing the atmospherewith its petulant moods.

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