Touches, fringes of life,Hanging, waiting to be grasped,Following the weave,Of an ancient tapestry,One constantly created,And one waiting for moths to consume. How do you bind the holes,Back into a better state,Where you can decipher,The context and occurrences? When they are repaired,More is added to your section,Of the growing fabric,Winding its way through time.Greater context is … Continue reading Poem: Guiding Weft

Cooking in Casserole Dishes
Perhaps I should start out by stating that I love my ceramic casserole dishes. I love that you can cook in them and then when they cool down enough, I can put them directly into the refrigerator without having to get out another container. While I only have two casserole dishes, I am longing for … Continue reading Cooking in Casserole Dishes
Changing Plans and Keeping Goals
I think that nearly everyone can agree with me that their plans for 2020 were absolutely trashed quite quickly into the year. Part of me just laughs at my New Years Eve self. She was very ambitious for the coming year and felt rather sure of herself. Here we are at the end of September … Continue reading Changing Plans and Keeping Goals
Poem: Set Your Sails
Step across the lands,Held out before you.Look over the treasures,Produced by other hands.Pick out a delight,That you may enjoy.There are many to be had,And experienced in full.Multiple people will try,To drag you away,To face their worries and sorrows.Push upon their thumbs,And flee their negativity.Enjoy the moment,Held within the present.Plan for a brighter future,And set your … Continue reading Poem: Set Your Sails
Poem: Even in Twilight
Even in twilight,Light can reflect,In various ways,Creating a sparkling contentedness,With its beauty and shine. Shed the negative constraints,Of the world around you.Leave behind the weights,That follow you like a cloak,Wearing you further away. Look for the bright spots,That call out to you,Asking for your presence,Waiting for you to join them,Joyful abandon. Step into the stream,Of … Continue reading Poem: Even in Twilight
Poems: Musings of a Raven’s Call
Can you hear the ravens call,Echoing across the fields?As time marches forth,Muse on the changes coming,In the turn of the air. The crisp autumn winds blow,Brushing my face,And so I look to the west.Have the ships arrived,That which bring new tidings,And old faces.They greet their loved ones,Those returning from the sea.My ancestors stand behind me,Ever … Continue reading Poems: Musings of a Raven’s Call
Poem: Bridge the Gap
I can feel the chasm growing,Ever deeper and wider.How do I bridge the gap?I cannot figure out how,But sometimes I wonder,If I should even bother.The winds that are blowing,Keep tearing it down,As fast as I can try to create it.I sense a storm coming.Perhaps I am wrong,About what lies ahead.But again I ask the question,How … Continue reading Poem: Bridge the Gap
Poem: Renewal of the Rural
With the sunset of the city,The sun rises once more on the country,Places of pride for simple ambitions,To live in the fresh air,With the space to grow food,And enjoy the earth.Cancerous thoughts,Have brought low the urban,Loss of activities and more,Burning infernos,Rolling through the streets,Of the skyscraper horizon.Yet new opportunities ariseFor the once deserted towns,Across the … Continue reading Poem: Renewal of the Rural
Poem: Hey Verdant Morn
Hey verdant morn,Is this what you asked for,Are you proud of your war,Fought in the streets and suburbia?Do you see the destruction wrought,And the innocence lost?Far worse than the depths of hell,For the bystanders caught in the violent net,That we call this search of glory,And superiority.Shall you believe that you are better,For admitting your faults,Or … Continue reading Poem: Hey Verdant Morn
Poem: Path of the Anxious Mind
Racing, turning in a loop,Agitated and alert,Looking for the danger,Threatening from nonexistence,As a hamster in wheel,Trapped and unable to leave,Or a train barreling down a track.Give it another route,To roll softly down a hill,But watch for it running back,Onto its original path.It will try to return,So keep vigilant,And give your mind,Another topic to focus on.It … Continue reading Poem: Path of the Anxious Mind
