EYES WIDE OPEN

In a blink
life as we know it
can do an
about face
In the smallest space of time
miracles happen.

THE WEEDS OF LIFE

She’s finding
herself once again
In a world
filled with the
familiar ~ she’s blossoming
among wildflowers.

NEW LIFE

love
lands
softly
on midnight
moonbeams, finds a home
deep in the heart of a dreamer
arouses the sleeping with a passion for living

ETERNAL HOPE

At last, I
cross the final bridge
of the road
less traveled;
the warmth of a life well lived
my soul companion.
