In every season
the rain brings nostalgic vibes
to where it felt real
Glimpse of every memory
Within a drop that falls down
This time it felt real

lack of approval
unreasonable demands—
our children matter
seeds of encouragement sprout
clean, prune, cultivate, nurture

loss of a loved one
treasure precious memories
allow tears to flow
do not isolate yourself
focus on faith and blessings

Try
Why do I still try?
To think you'll be there waiting
Why do I still try?
When I'm always second best
Nothing but a back up plan
UGH

You say so much things
Barely made a difference

Mesmerizing light
Kept you in a safe new home
Yet light flickers cold
I have kept you far too long
So its time to let you go
Farewell my firefly

Such sweet memory
Sinless teenage embraces
Long grass and blue skies
Bubbling cauliflower-clouds
Joyous serendipity

i have out lived life
everything i had is gone,
only memories
i carry now, rest my home
as i once upon lived life

looking for a space
among blue florida keys
to watch passing clouds
rising, falling then changing
from white to vivid pastels

Taken by the reckless wind
Lost in distant clouds
         And here the fall of her hair
         Tethers my mind to the sky
