Fairy Tales

Plain as the day on her face
the night in her eyes,
never far removed
from bare knuckled presence.

A fighter she attested.
A survivor.
Hard life clung to her
cloaking what little soft allure
she managed to retain.

Vulnerable allowed when her arms
wrapped around her little ones
drinking in their sweet innocence
awestruck by their bright eyes.

Depended upon, she was.
Embraced in the moment
as they clung to her.
Just as brief...they were gone.

Her demeanor straightened.
Sight changed to reflect task.
She lived in the here and now
where time could only be grasped
as habit melded to routine.

...in the still dark,
only pulse reverberated.
Inhale to exhale
deafening silent gasps
awaiting rain
to cool from the heat.

Change would come
immersing recognition
once again like promises kept
...a given...
Once upon a time when dreams
could become.
But that was
a long, long time ago.

But a Whisper Near a Gasp

This Muse,
Far and Away is deaf,
surnamed Silence
carved into the chest
leaving pain to mute unfairly
bearing no place for tears to succumb.
Farewell carries a shield boldly ironic.
Battle finished.
Heart taken.
Blind lives on.
Tears dry.
Rose fades, petals fall.
And the wind...it will blow where it will
caring naught for goodbyes.

Rest

Taking their own sweet time,
these little knobs protruding
from bark covered extensions
pose against gray, cloudy,
birthing in the airy surround
to azure spring.
Wispy laces bursting verdant
leaving soon to be forgotten surprises
as the heat of summer seeds its
complacency to bare once again
our senses need
for respite.
Easily we give in to hoping
for change, choosing
to uncover it all
in the shade of that secret place
where only the few are expected
only some are allowed.
Hidden you might find me,
waiting...perhaps

Sherrie~

Tender, Kindred, A soothing gentle as you reach out to me. Steven, such an honor. You are a truly fine friend. Thank you.

read it many times; I feel the pain.
I wish I could pick on your poetic brain.

Oh Sherrie, we've held them, opened and bared our hearts to give them all of us. We've often second guessed ourselves wondering if we've done enough...for their dreams..holding back waiting for ours to come to fruition knowing how life is growing all of us. Thank you for thinking of me, loving me, accepting the little I can give back. You have blessed me...Sweet Sherrie.

Pardon Me If I Giggle

A tilt of her head
she pointed her toes
raised her arms
twirled then bowed.
Elegant Demure Graceful?
Perhaps, though I never knew her that way.
A spit of a lass?
Nay! Ample she was.
A wink and a laugh...my Mom.
Apron covering her frock
Arms capable to hold skillets and pots she cooked with
or cradle a wee one close to her.
Eyes twinkling of life.
I grew with her love.
Was taught unconditional,
endurance and how to embrace change.
My Dad?
Well, they loved each other for more than sixty-one years.
So, when I read about expectations
for a well taken care of life...pardon me for giggling.
All has been said, done, felt and thought of by now.
There is nothing new under the sun...
Rosey glasses in Denial Frames
ain’t gonna change what is right in front of you.
Truth is, it’s the heart that stays close. A soul language
that defines deep inner beauty and worth. At least that’s what I think.
So, with a wink and a giggle...
I “Heart” You.
love,
s

Lullaby

Sweet my child,
He does keep.
In His arms
We rest.
We sleep.
Til the morn
filled with light,
through the eve
His whispers flight.
Kept we are
in safe
for heaven.
Awaiting soon
our faith believin.
Together all
and those we miss,
new our day
we know as this.

Love you...more
