Leaves, pinecones, and acorns fall,petals and whole blooms too;the hands of timepropel the seasons,pulling and pushingthe memories of you. Change comes inevitably,seems to detach and deterioratein the downward descenton the slippery slopesof wet-leaves and iced pathways. We can find our grip though,we can find the beauty that clings,hold in our hearts the comforting scents,focus on … Continue reading Seasons of the Heart
Golden transformationthose past painswith limited perspectivesseem to undergowhen God and time mix in blessings and distance.No phoenix transformation needed;from the fires before ashes,I retrieve the experiencesand in lieu of scar-brandsmanipulate the molten looking-glassand use the heat to my advantage,blowing a kiss of forgivenessto all of my previous misfortunes,all the ways things did not turn outthe … Continue reading Golden Frames

Sometimes you need to let go of both the past and present to make room for your future waiting so patiently to embrace you if your heart and arms were not so full of nonliving yesterdays and unfulfilling todays; though they may haunt and though they may sustain, it is only your future that can … Continue reading Drops of Time

You came along and were … Continue reading Alongside Me So Faithfully
Busyness buzzes about, time whizzes by, but only on the outside, for in me, a peace counters, hushing the frenzy, now that my mind is sounder.

Looking back at you, my future, looking for treasures in the tide, I hope what you seek, you will always be able to find. I hope the salt water refreshes and only from happiness falls from your eyes. Looking back at you, my future, with summer’s breeze and your golden strands at play, may … Continue reading Looking Back
