• Echoes in Quiet Corners

    Madness
    in the quiet corners
    of my skin,
    a current of heat
    beneath words,
    beneath breath.

    It winds
    around me
    like a labyrinth:
    walls soft,
    shadowed,
    doors whisper
    echoes.

    Still,
    I do not follow.

    I gather
    myself
    from the noise,
    from storms
    brushing
    against my name,
    and cradle
    the ember

    POEM #1– Poetry Month

    As I step off the back porch,
    into the freshly fallen snow,
    I look in all four directions
    seeking balance in a new day.

    As I walk through the snow,
    Grandmother speaks to me:

  • A little dream

    Clouds rolling in softly
    Delicately like a purr
    Wrapped in warm cotton
    Trailing thoughts of a time of tenderness

    Inner eye awakens to a place
    Where safety is given
    Love is freely accepted
    And a genuine smile is cherished

    Let me not wake from this
    Wanting to hold and be held
    In a world of nonreality
    Let me have…Read More
