THE DARK CLOUDS DID NOT BRING THE RAIN
The dark clouds did not bring the rain They teased, only to drift away. Thirsty flowers were left wanting to quench their thirst on that humid day. The grasshoppers went on playing The dark clouds did not bring the rain But the ants kept on working building up their pile of summer grain. Why wouldContinue reading “THE DARK CLOUDS DID NOT BRING THE RAIN”
A MOMENT
The air is ripe with the music of songbirds. Its hue is honeysuckle and wine. The sweetness of berries awaken my tongue. Ah, laughter straddles the beaming sun. My hands are full.

ODE TO INNOCENCE
The fragrance of innocence wafts in the air like the song of songbirds on a morning wrapped in spring’s dew-kissed glow.

THE GARDEN
This garden of roses is my garden of sorrows thorns push against my skin drawing blood in scarlet patterns. I wish I could remember the sweet fragrance, the velvet charm of the flowers, but pain overwhelms. I look to the heavens for deliverance. What will I be when my prayers are answered with silence? ThisContinue reading “THE GARDEN”
SHOOTING STAR
Once I was a child staring in wonder into the night to see my shooting star to which I would confide my heart’s prayer What beautiful gem is a child’s prayer Its innocence is itself a wonder sparkling as brightly as the brightest star.
