Peace

During this hectic winter season, I wish each of you one perfect moment of peace.

I will be gone for a while. I have a tumor in my right kidney, and surgery is scheduled for Thursday. I will be back as soon as I am strong enough to sit at the computer and create.
Be good...play nice. There is too much hurt in this world as it is......peace.

Tiger

Tiger, tiger burning bright?
Not this time I fear………
Running, ever running, always on the move -
The reasons not remembered, obscured within the mood,
And promise of new freedom, running with the lies
Taking reason’s chances, and dreaming of the prize…
Tiger can’t you see it- Don’t you really know?
You have to take you with you, wherever ere you go.
Tell yourself the reasons, believing that they’re true,
And yet, sometimes I wonder
Just who is fooling who.
Tiger stop, and listen, to the feelings in your heart.
Then and only then……….
Can you make a true new start.

Today

Today . .. I wish you all a day of ordinary miracles

Listen!

Can you hear it? The approach of winter riding in on the coat tails of autumn. Slowly, teasingly, it sneaks forth on silent wisps. Fooling the senses, hidden within the south wind and the smell of well thawed earth. It is coming. Soon, too soon, it will freeze the ground solid. Deathlike, the trees will stand as silent sentinels to the sky. Harsh, cold and unfeeling…..yet deep within the core of each thing, the renewal of life glimmers. Hold tight, keep safe. It’s just a fleeting moment, that’s all. A fleeting moment with a stark beauty all it’s own. Listen……………..WINTER.
