A Gem
ymmiJ Apr 1
meeting someone whos'
beauty is matched by kindness
a rare gem indeed

one of God's purposeful seeds
planted in my life
a most barren of places
now it overflows
truest love in abundance
and a heart of solid gold

I Small Piece Of Peace
ymmiJ Mar 31
we walked this winding trail
along the valley up to a ridgeline
there was an old miners cabin at the top
he had the most spectacular view
there was a rusted bed frame still inside
from his bed he could see out a tiny window
to the heavens
and hear a tiny creek meander below
the quiet overwhelmed us
as we all sat in silence
taking in this vista
he must have seen a thousand times
we wondered who he was
and why he left
was it bad news from home
or did he tire of the peace
of being alone
we followed the same meandering  trail
back down to the valley floor
lookin back one last time
we thought we saw him wave goodbye

Mildest winter and least snowfall in Alaska in a long time.
