Poet. Writer. Photographer. Nature-Lover.
Paths cross. Some, like I, believe for reasons. I get disheartened when the trail diverges and someone again leaves me, but even in that, as I take more steps into the great unknown, I know so many are not supposed to walk with us all the way home. 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. The slow counter rotation pushes back against the second hands of time, and I hover above the current, free from the waves knocking me over. I … Continue reading Rotations
The sun always returns, the rain always dries, the colors come back, floral scents in the breeze again waft by in time. So, my darling, wipe those eyes. This season is passing soon.

Dragonfly's silhouette against the boundaryless blue entrances me with mysticism, and I still myself for a clue. The secrets of the universe he holds in all-seeing eyes, billions of years of mysteries flicker in wings that span time. The evanescent moments in his presence pass through me and leave a mythological map of … Continue reading Placidity
I decide where and when I go next. I've always had wings but never realized I, alone, am the pilot.

I don't think... 🙂 In the first rays of the day, standing erect against the backdrop of celestially-lit clouds, the newly-planted tree looked majestic yet meek. Perhaps it was the contrast of … Continue reading Newly Planted
