Fall into me

Fall is a magical time of year. The colors are intense and warm.

Sisterhood

Blood is not always what binds or makes a family, it is love and compassion that fills the branches and leaves of your tree

Wise Child

When you think a love can not get any stronger……your grandson will sing you a lullaby. 

Burnt Rope

Hands from your abyss sharpened its blade

Cut its last thread clinging to the edge

Broken Heart

The heart knew it was no longer needed so it stopped beating to free the soul from its suffering. The hearts greatest act of love…….

Faded Petals of an Oak

Many rings in his limbs twisted with time gently hold

Collected faded and fallen petals of his rose

In the Recesses

As my children and the rest of our communities children grew up, I would release each new monster, which formed in my mind’s eye, into the shadows of my yard. And from what I’m told, they are still lurking about the neighborhood in search of delicious children brave enough to play games of the night.

Butterfly Bouquets

Catching the tears that fall from a storm

When her basin is full and begins to overflow

From sadness a garden of flowers she makes grow

Written by Hand

The great wind from wings that she grew, caught in my heart as our fingers withdrew.
