It was a dark and rainy early Saturday morningthat I felt the rejuvenating movement of air fan the cinders of my soulon the side of the fire neglected for only a short while,yet the glow that yearns the most to be fed seems overly sensitive to the cold. My muses knew and rose to perform … Continue reading Tending the Fire

When the World is Still
When the world is still, when predawn so subtly changes the sky in the same unrushed manner as the return of open eyes, I thrive. Only the birds are lively, but their cheerful news I entertain; through the open windows, they chirp tidings using my name. Sun rises in splendor just for … Continue reading When the World is Still
I Will Never Tire
I will never tire of morning birdsong, the daily rising of the sun, the ways the rays beam between trees, the clouds that form in such artistry, the freedom flaunted in wildflowers, all the colors of twilight hours, the breezes that rouse my desires, the stars that kindle my dreams afire, for as long as … Continue reading I Will Never Tire

Don’t Blink
Don't blink or they'll be grown, living in different places, separated by more than miles, by the race of life. Don't blink or you'll miss realizing this kiss is the last one they'll permit because they're too old now and that's gross. Don't blink, take it in, a snapshot in your head, perhaps … Continue reading Don’t Blink
