Days became dazed out
Nights became awakenings
Confusing matter
She lay her head down to rest
And woke up in a new land
Roses dried up at her feet
Placed there by the hermit
By the forbidden sea
The beautiful sea
Sea Kissed Roses
Tag: life
Coloring the Day into Night
Coloring the Day into Night
Coloring the sails with clouded light
Drifting to the sea blue green white foaming
Living in the lifeboat made for you and me
And now we will know freedom
Every walkway shadowed
Sanded with the substance of pinks
Glassine with shimmery powders
Gasping for air and sinking
Grasp my hand and pull me up
Let me stay beside my ever more
Sipping from the silver chalice
Once more to know sweet ardor
Communion is not for the crowds
But for the one who partakes
A personal commitment to being more
Yet to be more is to be less
Solace – The Joker is Wild

the wild Joker laughed
flaunting his colorful garb
heehawing loudly
he beckoned all to join him
seeking solace from the pain
Morning Coffee – Retro April 2019
As sure as the alarm
could go off
It need not
as bones are aching
for a walk
Padding to the pot
filling the vessel
Pondering the day
pouring the water
sopping the slosh
Starting the pot
waiting and listening
What’s up with the brew
It Takes Coffee Grounds
to make coffee
If morning starts this way
it’s going to be a long day

Safety First, Honey Second
Engaging in the latest news, Terri was tired of all the drama, while at the same time she knew safety needed to be first and foremost. COVID-19 was not a virus to play around with and the whole state asked people to stay home.
Terri placed her less than clean feet in her slippers, gathering up the trash-which was overflowing-and carried it to the dumpster. Neighbors were out in the complex, talking up with one another, interacting with their neighbor’s children and dogs all while heading to the common grilling station.
Just then a storm of pollen blew as the wind picked up and Terri hurried back inside. Showering quickly due to the pollen, Terri made toast with honey, a cup of tea, grabbed her remote, and settled on the couch for what would be the safest plan for who knew how long.
