My sweet boy and my
Sweet girl how I love you both
Always and all ways.

The Winds

The winds
whip across the prairies and
across the landscape
of my barren mind.

They whip
everything into strips
and they are sad,
****** little strips.
Little bits.

The winds
they
pick me up they
lift me up
Elevate me and so

Everything,
it’s all in a whirlwind

It is and I just
want it all to settle down
and I want to feel once again

My feet
On solid ground.

Petunias and Pansies
Tiger Lilies and Tulips
Roses and Rosemary

Pretty petals

So soft and lilting and lovely

Pretty petals

Clematis and Clover
Daffodils ad Daisies and Dahlias

Pretty petals

Lavender and lilacs so lovely

These pretty petals
Belong to us all.

Sometimes, I am.
I feel like I’m in an old western movie.
The vulnerable woman
in the wastelands
just trying to get
by with her little ones.
And then the villains come
They wreak havoc
until she almost gives up
And then
the hero of the day rides
up and saves the day.
Oh *******.
I’m used to villains.
I’ve won so many times.
I am the hero
Of my own story.

Warm Prairie Night

It is and I feel
the grass beneath my feet.
Grounding me.
Reminding me
That I’m here.
In this remote place.
And I am feeling
So
Alone.

That’s Nice

The sweet, warm words you say to me and the way you hold me so close is so nice.

That’s nice
That you think of me, often
and I reciprocate
Always and in all ways.

That’s nice
That you kind of love me the same way that I love you.

That’s  just so
Nice.

Shine

The sun is shining down on me
and it is glorious.
Reminds me that I’m alive.
I have happiness.
Family.
I am blessed.
Goodness abounds.
Thank you, universe/God/etcetera.
Whomever.
Thank you.
I thank you.
