Autumn whispers as I hang the moon just so to mark the edge of summer and promised dreams and waxing dreams and those promised dreams Borrowed from nothing built on everything being in the sky, somehow being of the sky intentions wait Autumn whispers, it beckons as I release old seasons and soar Image by Jonny Lindner from Pixabay prompts: Go Dog Go Tuesday Writing … Continue reading Change of Seasons
If I could see my way clear of endless shadows if I could silence these echoes of yesterday if I could embrace up and coming challenges and summon strength that is never too near if I could, I’d imagine the riches I’d find Fear, a fine emotion Fear, a friend and if I fail, Fear will remind me I’m not flawless Image by Helmut Strasil … Continue reading Sunlight Through Shadows
There’s humility in the rain that visits in the whispering shallows Here where the world is quiet and still, I listen I draw comfort from the steady drone that sounds like a heartbeat, here where drops of water weigh heavy on fragile petals They glisten like diamonds, like kaleidoscopes swirling And those tender blossoms? They accept the weight without effort, knowing it helps them to … Continue reading Rainy Days
The broken children sought ancient wisdom on that last lonely night In the wild, fires burned and burned as smoldering sage laid claim to feral visions It was a myth, this call to salvation They poured through old text with feline eyes In darkness, they sought light In the midst of deception, they sought truth Promises of old were discarded to make way for the … Continue reading Last Lonely Night

blue lace and old high top sneakers empty bottles and half-filled glasses raindrops punishing window panes propped open with broken sticks our favorite song stuck on repeat it blasts from that old radio as we dance in the dark and search for serenity in a room starved for air I wonder where your soul goes I wonder each time you twist your body in time … Continue reading Discontent
Guess I should have known benediction lingers between light and shadow between elation and fury urging explicit emotion to rest as the embers of hellfires cool And like the wind caressing tender petals after that fierce storm redemption waits as the last wildflower loses its tremble and turns to face the sun Prophecy soaring on the silver wings of guardian angels renames fate, reconfiguring every … Continue reading After The Storm

Minutes tick away as my shadow soul sails under the new moon glazed with a hint of joy I write your name in neon white and frame it with jewels collected from the morning rain I snap open this pandora’s box What will be will be but this moment depends on you A prelude to every song we will sing together photo: Pixabay prompts: Go … Continue reading Prelude
A thousand lives and a yesterday an intermittent flicker of light a flash of understanding a new dawn a new day new dreams just because the moment is disguised in a malleable expectancy of rapture rustling doubt lingers a new dawn a new day new dreams always remember anything is possible between intermittent flickers of light and this, a flash of understanding photo: Pixabay prompts: … Continue reading Faith
Damn this wind that howls like a lone wolf on a moonlit night Damn this rain that prowls like a rabid dog ready to bite Like a lone wolf on a moonlit night hollow victories linger, a wicked chill Like a rabid dog ready to bite life lessons ﹘ a bitter pill Hollow victories linger, a wicked chill storm rages against echoes, angry yowls life … Continue reading Triggers
