A house where the wind lives,
Where the rain visits & cries,
Sloping floors & mouse scurry,
Ghosts & creaking stairs,
This is my castle,
I have papered the walls with love,
Sewn laughter over the cracks,
Filled it with dreams,
That even the wind can’t deny.

Of quiet and sleeping cat,
Slippers and blanket,
Tea and poetry,
Thoughts gathered,
Before the day arrives,
Calm before storm,
Peace in my heart.

I imagine
flying back to childhood's nest
time travelling
surrounded by love - with no

Beneath the earth, roots are growing; and a spring, must follow snow.
In your heart, there’s blood still flowing; and so hope will, carry on.

A silent morning snowfall reveals something unexpected.
One whose strong fragrance announces their presence for all to know.
Let us clear a path unimpeded and allow them to pass!

but gratitude belongs to all of us.
In every place where dawn reminds us
we’re still part of something larger than ourselves.

In the company of flowers
Delicate beauty

Not merely to live,
To hope and wonder,
Not merely to be,
To love and be loved,
No matter the hurt,
Stardust and heart,
You were meant to shine.

A small inlet with swirling water, waves move all directions.
On the cold surface, a daily competition has begun.
A cold battle of body, mind, and spirit for the future.
