Here, There, and Everywhere

Jan20

After traveling the world

in search of magic,

who would have guessed

they’d discover

it lies within.

Self-evident Truth

Jan19

It takes warmth

to melt the frozen places

in and around us.

Coldness keeps us

frozen in place.

The Largeness Of Small Things

Jan17

Amidst the snow,

sleet, and freezing rain,

the fire indoors brings

warmth and comfort

to Knox, two cats, and me.

Post Sunset Blues

Jan14

Blue evening sky

backs up chorus

of bare limbed trees

in a poignant tribute

to the passage of time..

Turning Down The Heat

Jan13

Sometimes this stew

I call my life

gets brought to a brisk boil

and needs to

be placed on simmer.

Need A Pick-Me-Up?

Dec18

Pick up a pen and begin.

Writing can help us

get through hard times,

celebrate good times,

and enliven mediocre ones.

Within And Without

Nov23

Outside it’s cold and dark.

Sitting on the couch,

Knox snuggled by my side,

I breathe in warmth and light

and breathe out gratitude.

When In Transition

Nov15

May we have 

the courage 

to be awkward,

knowing that’s how

growth and change begin.

The Return

Nov14

After years of

branching out,

I’m content now

to simply 

tend the roots.

All In One

Nov9

Rose bushes have

both blossoms and thorns.

We too have blossoms and thorns,

though it’s easier

to accept in roses.
