Ears bouncing with the body, timid eyes check to see if it is okay to love you. Red-golden tea the mirror of a new spring blue, pierced by sun, drinking a cup of sky. Inspired what is next and knowing to experience, but what adventure will come? Ting of sidewalk chalk and … Continue reading
666
A bloated parasite masticating flesh rot: pregnant with nameless death. The growl of life-seizing machines – hiss, shiver, un- thinking (but knowing) death. Carcasses on the win- dowpane, heads that beat a suicidal rhythm. Hinging on the hope that good did not die with fail- ure. Whole disapproval. Bees dutifully ga- … Continue reading

Like fall colors. Like the very occasional snow we get here in this part of the States. Like the batteries … Continue reading

By definition (thank you, Merriam-Webster), there must be unknown risks, there is no predictability. I am … Continue reading
A Place of Peace
Sometimes my heart visits places of peace and sanctuary where I find rest in the love of my Savior. Images race through my being… A walk through flowering valleys, flight above regal mountains, and a swim through liquid diamond waters. But when my eyes open and the real world comes into focus, the images, the … Continue reading
