Wishing upon
a star
Wondering
where you
are…
Moon guiding
the path
back to
self.
Tears cleansing
the wounds~
windows open
where doors
closed
back to where
I belong~
wishing on
a star,
dancing
with the
harvest moon…

Heart beats
to its own
staccato beat
Mind dreams
to its own
eclectic dreams
Soul speaks
to its own
inner voice
Self wonders
to its own
wondrous self…
Sunshine
through
storms
laughter
through
tears
growth
through
heartache
life
through
blood
the rising
the setting
storms
through
sunshine~
Rest
dear ones
lay down
your head
and dream of
bright tomorrows
Rest
before your
miles to roam
Rest
until the
journey
takes you
home…
Wishing on the moon
to turn the tides
Waking to a dream
that fades away
Ancient songs
calling the soul
home…
dreaming~
Ancient roads
calling me
home…
old friends
new friends
embracing
change
longing for
my tribe,
back in
their arms.
lessons learned
insights gained
adventures had
stories to tell~
picking up
my pen
again
the adventures
never end
traveling…
two doors
not the
same
memories
turning
corners
A Journey
begins
does it
ever end?
spirits float
like stardust
firefly’s
lighting
the way
let’s be franc
find your
shamrock~
Aye,
I will…
I will be on a journey.
I will be writing~
My next post will be on 7/31/22
Slainte…
Adieu
for now…
At 17 I took the oath.
I would kill and die
for the Stars and Stripes…
I got an education
Became an educator
raised my children
believing still in the Stars and Stripes.
What it represented
What it waved for…
In my lifetime I watched
the fight for equality grow,
expand and crumble before
my eyes.
For gender, race, religion and
love…
I watched a man die by a knee~
I heard about a woman killed
in her bed~
Innocents slaughtered by
weapons of war~
E.R.A. rotting away.
Crimes of hate
and then
Roe v. Wade.
Disbelief
Shock
Grief
I Weep
for never again can I believe
in the promise that was
a lie…
While we WERE sleeping
the belief died..
.
Rainbows flow
rain goes
days blend
night reigns
sunrise begin
again
journey’s
of memories
journey’s
to come
days of
pain
days of
joy
time churns
body yearns
growing older
growing bolder
roads taken
paths waiting…
Sometimes
letting go
is the
greatest
gift~
Sometimes
holding on
takes the
greatest
strength~
Doing both
takes the
greatest
spirit~
Rise
Shine
Repeat…
Sometimes~
