Simpler Times, a poem
I remember the old days and they fill me with joy - those honest days of old.
You, My Dear – Are Worthy (a poem)
You, my dear – are worthy. It matters not if everyone sees it. It is there – inside you. You, beautiful you. The way you cry at others' misfortune, the way you always burst forth, wishing you could right all the wrongs heal all the wounds befriend the friendless and in courage – say all… Continue reading You, My Dear – Are Worthy (a poem)
Alone, but Not Giving Up (a poem)
There is a sadness beneath all the intent, the straight stares forward as you enter the room. You feel the desolation of hearts unwilling, yet you never understand their purpose. Yet they live and breathe to prove your breaths - unwanted. Your feelings, but discarded trash along the wayside, and it matters not - to… Continue reading Alone, but Not Giving Up (a poem)
For the One Who Said I Wasn’t Real, a poem
In this world of ours, we’ve created a dilemma, for we live our lives behind flashing screens where everything seems - SO REAL and yet everything seems - UNREALISTIC.

Reaching out, we slowly learn to trust but just as quickly we reel it in – feigning distrust.… Continue reading For the One Who Said I Wasn’t Real, a poem

Another poem in the series, "Garden Daydreams." It is my attempt to read between the lines of photos I have taken this past year - to try to find the whispers of meaning and the stories yet untold. I hope you enjoy them. Worthy I’ve settled in to my own skin, no… Continue reading Garden Daydreams: Worthy, a poem

Raise Our Voices, a poem
Some of us are the songs, she says… the lilting melody the gentle birdsong the reverberating pulse that soothes the inner spaces. Most of us are not aware of this, but still - we sing, filling the silence with reassurance and hope. Some of us are the songs, she says... and some of us… Continue reading Raise Our Voices, a poem
