Happy Place
Celebrate There need not be an occasion On the calendar To enjoy a vacation From the negative noise And non-stop chatter Honestly, I’d rather… Focus on And fully embrace The beauty of A happy place

Wings
Gone as far As you can go On feet that carried you Steady and slow? You’ve reached the top Or so you thought Until you realized There’s much more you want. You’ve got wings to grow And places to go A whole world to see… One full of promise, and possibility.
Splintered
A fallen fragment That once stood tall Appears broken, downtrodden Very nearly forgotten But from rings of strength Formed through tests and trials New purpose exists For what’s now tired …Splintered… Into a shelter Ready to share Storms it’s been through For out of its wounds Life is born anew
Windswept Sky
In another place Some other time When the days of you And I are gone; Different sets of eyes Will see Us in the clouds Forever-free; Decorating the sky – beautifully For those who’ll surely be: Studying the same scene, Questioning and wondering, Searching and asking “Why?” As they scan the windswept sky; To see… Read More Windswept Sky

Flowers and Fluttering Wings
In a world of flowers And fluttering wings A passing glance Turned to romance; In a comforting embrace I found peace When you became My resting place
