waiting for the dark to lift
pinprickling stars

This is my castle,
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.

I am in my nest,
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
responsibilities

Behind the rains, the sun’s still shining; and no cloud, can halt the dawn.

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.

old tale of the turnip soup
grandchildren take it
with a pinch of salt

Fragrant Morning Snow
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!

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

autumnal leaves fall
not by accident or flaw
but by design’s grace

Taking refuge
In the company of flowers

You were meant to dream,
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.

Started my Thanksgiving off with a walk that included this beautiful sight. Grateful for this moment and so many other things! Heading off to celebrate with family soon, but wanted to wish you all a great day, regardless of whether it's a holiday for you. 🧡

Showing Off
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.
