Poet. Writer. Photographer.
I thought I saw a glimpseof angel wings with one tear clinging, or maybe it was my imagination or my dream realized, or so I thought, for in that fleeting brushand drop, a celestial crystal ball of truths; after all, I write my own future, and sometimes the signsare only meant to be clues only detectable in the listening of the vision within that … Continue reading Glimpses
Summer break gone in a blink;where do the days gowhen I'm the least busyand, pandemic or not,rarely leave my homeeven to visit the sea? How many hours passcrouched and stretchedin the unmanicured rental yard, despised by neighbor,though I upkeep what leasedand am secretly thankful for my wild.

Who is changed upon the descent … Continue reading Little Tree On The Mountaintop

She fans silken petals, the softest of shells, not to be coy, just discreetly distancing herself, comfortable cocooned, guilty of pretense, privacy preferred over others' presence, never unfriendliness, just not social; passions and interests captivate most when alone. Tending to her own tendrils, internal biodome, nirvana nurtured, nature, home. She shows the sides she chooses; do … Continue reading Simply Introverted
