Mama~

Days passed

years rolled

by…

More then

twenty years

gone…

My heart

holds on…

sweet memories

some painful

ones too…

I see your

face

when I close

my eyes.

I hear your

laughter

in the quiet

moments

of joy.

I feel your

gentle touch

when I remember

your embrace…

Your granddaughters

know you,

I will not let

them forget…

I miss you,

I love you,

always~

sweet woman

of grace…

Believe…

Waiting

on the

rain

Never

quite the

same

Dreams

change

direction

Hope

ebbs

and

flows

time

long

past

when

I once

believed~

Fairy tales

aren’t dreams

come true

they are

lessons

learned

as the

spirit

burns…

Wounds…

Measuring life

through the

wounds…

Counting coup

counting scars

like stars.

Tip toe

go low

going with

the flow.

Pain walks

in step

lest we

forget…

The road

less traveled

wearing honor

like armor,

battle ready

at all times.

You try to forget

but can’t.

You try to let go

but it lives

within.

Walking wounded

lets go…

Clouds~

Drifting in

floating out

the grey

and the

white

side by

side

they

ride.

Alive

on the

inside…

What is

your truth?

Where is

your

why…

Did it

die?

floating by

clouds

come

clouds

go,

drifting

by…

Floating…

Drifting

away

on

cotton balls

floating off

to the

land of

Oz.

Dreaming

of a

thousand

lands

unseen…

laughter

with strangers

moments

of

glory,

the Joy

of living

the why~

floating away

freaming,

drifting,

into the

comfort

the bliss

the moments…

Hawk~

The unmistakable

sound

the call of

the hawk

loud

crisp and

clear

A jolt

A shot

to the

senses

Instantly alert~

The power

of sound

and flight

On the hunt

agile strength

in a state

of grace~

The knowing

the glowing

Rising in the

mists

of dawn

Soaring

ever

soaring~

On…

Mornings~

Slow

wakenings

hot coffee

the baby

green

of spring…

Surrounded

by flowers

all the

colors

of a

rainbow…

the sweet

songs

of the

birds…

time slows

clocks for

show…

A day

without

rules

no have to’s

no work

just sweet

nothings,

a pen,

a coffee,

and

sweet music~

Memories~

Memories

flood

fade

slip away

some bring

tears

of joy

of sorrow

of lost

tomorrows…

I see

my life

as a

Kaleidoscope

of moments

some that

shaped me

some that

shamed me

either way

I danced

I sang

I loved

I hoped

I failed

I tried

I laughed

I cried…

Into the blue…

Gazing

into the blue

lost

into the blue

waiting

into the blue

searching

into the blue

questioning

into the blue

leaning

into the blue

seeking

into…

never the same

what’s in a name

walking on

letting go

embracing

changes

no place to go

step by step

living fearlessly

fight the fight

seek the light

a warriors creed

never surrender

into the blue…
