    Quest

    cloud remnants from the rainstormform curds in bluish grays and off whitesI step through wet grass nimble footedclothes enlightened as part of the sunseton this quest to findtoday’s endand offer my hand to a friend departed.

    When We Grow Older

    Oh so much time has passed.As children,playing and laying in the grass.Memories like nothing else. With doubts,nonexistant and always false.With time,we grew taller.And we fell even harder. We reached the stars and skies,planets.We achieved the impossible.Now you are nearly 18. You wonder,where...

    Again She Grows

    watch as silvered smoke...rises defiantly in tendrilstasting the air...with wispy tongueserpentine stirringsniffing the direction...of cooling windmisty armor coilingswathing its infant...protection from the coldas she uncurls...stretching fresh limbs......in her new born skinfresh from the blazing womb...rising from her latest graveeyes...

    You Touched My Heart Today

      You touched my heart today And the memory made me smile I wish that you had been here too To share that smile with you   You come in unexpected ways Sometimes soon or in a while And an imprint on my heart is made And  soul...

    • This made me think of my dad. He’s gone but still here in my heart, in smiles & in laughter especially. This is beautiful

      • I think we all have that special someone for whom time and distance doesn’t matter to the heart 🌼

    • We all long for a love the heart remembers at random times and whiles, as if it was new 🌼

    • I’m sure it’s a quote from someone but I’m too lazy to google it right now and see but this reminded me of the sentiment, ‘those we love never truly leave us’.

    • This makes me think of the song “I’ll be there”, by The Escape Club.

      “On the edge of a waking dream
      Over Rivers
      Over Streams
      Through Wind and Rain
      I’ll be there
      Across the wide and open sky
      Thousands of miles I’d fly
      To be with you
      I’ll be there”

      • Just gave it a listen. The song wasn’t on my radar when the poem was written but I can understand being able to relate the two. I set words free into the ether and then sit back and watch as each gives their own connections to the words. Some things I’ve really worked over and liked barely received a blip of reaction. Some things have just come to me and I never gave a second thought to, and got raved over by comparision.

        I liked this because it was short and sweet, spoke volumes in a pint size, and rhymed – which is a struggle for me, so I guess the stars aligned. For me it had nothing to do with death at all, but i can understand that too. Once you’ve set something free it takes on a life of its own. And that’s as it should be.

        Thank you stopping to share a comment and the song 🌼

    • Well, now that everyone knows who my muse was, it makes me wonder why you told me to just keep it anonymous!
      But you’re here now, so there’s no point in pining on about you with a silly poem – I’ve missed you!

      Btw…You haven’t seen my Recchiuti Confections Black Box chocolates have you? Just wondering. I can’t seem to find them anywhere? 🌼
