After a long, arduous walk, when someone looks into your eyes and recognizes you, through the labels, the ragged clothes, and pungent smell, something inside starts glowing. The breath becomes lighter, the spine stretches straighter, and the eyes soaking in more of the world. It’s a mystery where such courage comes from, but it’s oneContinue reading “Resonance”

Moonlit Skies
Sometimes I wake up early just to watch her sleep. The peaceful time just before dawn as the moon casts a glow perfectly across her face. How beautiful she looks bathed in the silver glow of the moon nestled beneath her favorite blanket. I want to touch her but know if I do she willContinue reading “Moonlit Skies”
Lucky Charms
I can look at the mountain before me and say it’s too high. Or I can hit my knees and give it another try. It doesn’ matter what I can do.What matters is who I get my strength through. I don’t wish upon the starsor have a lucky charm. I don’t look for answer inContinue reading “Lucky Charms”
Wife To Be
Soft and gentle, elegant like a sheet flowing in the wind. Her body twirls and swirls in her bare feet. Frolicking like a little girl, flowers in her hair and a warm smile on her face. She motions me to join her in dancing with the sun. I pause not wanting this moment to pass.Continue reading “Wife To Be”

Would they talk about what they saw high up in the sky Or maybe tell usContinue reading “If Animals Could Talk: A Peek Into the Mind of a Toddler”

So manyContinue reading “In Your Presence”

Hold Me Tight
I enjoy writing by hand and prefer it over typing. I especially enjoy a good glass dip pens but I have only used mine a handful of times. It is simply a huge task to undertake with small children running around and I really hate cleaning up ink. I like writing in cursive and printContinue reading “Hold Me Tight”
Oh How Sweet
Another attempt at a free verse poem. Oh how sweetis the sound of pitter patter feet. When you’ve been told it would never be reality. To be barren and without child, when one desires is a pain like no other; it burns like a thousand fires. A hurt deep within the soulthat only a womanContinue reading “Oh How Sweet”
