thoughts and feelings released

released in wickered and whimsical wishes

wishes, wild and windswept

windswept across the ages unkempt

unkempt memories like cinnamon woodsmoke

woodsmoke, a touch of spice, a taste of home

home, where I slipped between crisp sheets and warm blankets

blankets made with love and security

security in practical decisions, no doubt

no doubt, creativity, my path to lay out

out of black and white to find heartfelt hues

hues that brought the world to life, a way to choose

choose between the pages at  boardwalk bookshops

bookshops, a haven of hallowed worlds

worlds to discover, worlds to explore

explore my footholds into tomorrow

tomorrow is here

here, I know the gift is near

near thoughts and feelings I can now face

face rested and refreshed after much needed space
