The Need to Grow, a poem

Lost - are the moments where we just sit in our own thoughts. Sometimes we need to be remined - we need to get back.

A Testament to What I Was (Fandango’s Flashback Friday) – a poem

A life well-lived, leaves something beautiful behind for others.

Summer Simplicity, a poem

I know it may seem strange to post something about summer now. Next week, we are already expecting our first snow. As usual for Colorado, it will go from 90 F to 30 the next day and then ease on back up again. I think I actually look forward to the snow this year (which…

Garden Daydreams: The Beauty of My Soul, a poem

Another poem written for another photograph I have taken.  I hope it takes you there, in the fields, awash in the summer sun.  We may not all be able to physically go to the gardens today or tomorrow - but perhaps we can use a little imagination to still smell the scent of nature's beauty.…

Garden Daydreams: However Small, a poem

Here is another poem, inspired by my own photographs.  I've missed the gardens ever so much, but I am grateful to relive my steps in seasons past either way.  I don't know if flowers whisper to you too, but this is the tale I heard...  I hope you enjoy.     However Small   Morning…

Soar, a poem

  I bowed to the winds of fury, tattered tail swatted by the wind. My heart sunken, pieces clawed away in disbelief, my wings - were stolen. Sometimes, it is the difficulties that define us, not the shaken bits and pieces of uncertainty, the misplaced steps, the broken trust, or the pain. No – instead,…

Poem: Together and Alone

I haven't written anything lately, nor have I taken pictures... but I have enjoyed being able to spend more time with my family.  It is not that I am taking time away, but that my time is needed so much elsewhere.  My oldest is getting ready for college next year (don't even get me started…

Poem: Waiting for the Rain

This image inspired the following words...   Waiting for the Rain   Keep the truths away From the windswept Regions of my heart For the storms have come Before… It is not something new I am accustomed To the distant rumbling Of impending thunder The darkened clouds The threat of rain – When gentle, A…
