Prism

Shards of angled light

pierce and merge the guilt and grace,

emblazing the soul.

Fenestra From a dream: Washed gray skies fill the large panes; she notes the unfamiliar color as she enters the room. The broad portal pervades the wall from floor to ceiling. Weathered walnut confronts the cool murky canvas it frames. She sees the window is open a few inches from the bottom. Standing before it, […]

The Solstice My tender limbs seek relief. Not from a foretime’s impetuous work weeding the beds, A different, deep, enthralling ache bellows from my core. I only long to be with him.

Now The knot in my stomach tightens Squeezing tears, dripping Like a drenched towel left on the clothesline in the rain Twisted in clenched fists.

Nocturnal luster flutters forth, and I can see clearer now Enchantment from […]

From this morning Snow flutters like glitter in the wind, so pretty in the rising sun. I see this through my kitchen window, and my mind wanders. A new year is here. Time to review and renew, embrace, and embark. A new list of intentions, not resolutions, because these are a way of living, goals […]
