Standing Still – December 28, 2025

The light was a hue of red, it had turned the sky pink, and the snow melting on the ground followed suit. I lost myself standing in the open doorway in the early hours of this December day. A cool breeze held me captive and played in my tangled morning hair. My senses were at … Continue reading Standing Still – December 28, 2025 →

Grief’s Lucidity – August 20, 2025

There was no grief in the beginning. It was just absence. A nothingness, I guess there were twinges from other peoples glares. I wanted them to stop. The eyes to turn away; because maybe, they would see what was really in front of them. A broken, confused, tired little girl who wanted to be anyone … Continue reading Grief’s Lucidity – August 20, 2025 →

Talking to You…Little Dots of Snow 12/4/25

Little dots of snow sitting on the upside down patio chairs, stacked against the wall of windows I am staring out, leads me to these thoughts.

Talking to You…Little Moments 10/24/25

Quiet, Light, and Stars I sat today, in the quiet The sun was dappled across my body A pillow on top of my lap Rays lighting up tiny particles floating around me Two kids home from school Breakfast and back up to their respective spaces It’s quiet As the particles passed my face at the … Continue reading Talking to You…Little Moments 10/24/25 →

Talking to you…Searching for the Ladybugs 3/6/24

Dedication page: Many Greetings, Many Faces For the past year-ish, I have been sharing very sparingly what I write because, well to be honest, I think it’s crap. I am not being honest with myself, and I feel it in every word that I force out on the paper. I have recoiled a bit into … Continue reading Talking to you…Searching for the Ladybugs 3/6/24 →

Brevity – January 2, 2024

A glimpse out the glass door One leaf was up on it’s edge doing cartwheels across the frozen tundra It had a bounce to it’s step While the buttery morning light illuminated it’s glory Losing my mind in the time it took to go it’s path Laying motionless in the short winter grass Traveling with … Continue reading Brevity – January 2, 2024 →
