The Big Eye
The Big Eye stares at me waiting for me to stare at it. Silent—it seems or does it emit both off and on? Stories of fear, inane blathering lies of propaganda mind-dulling, time eater, not in my house will you … Continue reading
Webs
Wicked webs of intrigue Black widow’s kiss of death, webs spun with hate and greed luring the unwary. Webs of golden threads draping shawls of life between floresta sentinels. Huge spiders cavort, dangling on silken strands creating spiral designs of … Continue reading

Laughter
Laughter which starts deep in the belly bubbling up and out sending forth abundant glee. Tears flow in helpless mirth as wave after wave of unexpected laughter transforms me leaving me hick-upping giggling like a delighted five year old only … Continue reading

Another Day
Overlays of bird songs Moos of hungry calves Crickets adding rhythms Dew glistening on wands of grass Fairies cuddling in slumber After a moonlit night of play. Another day is dawning filling me with joy and gratitude.
New Day
Pink clouds behind black trees palest blue backdrop golden light-kissed edges. Trills of morning birds announce the day. I am grateful to be here to enjoy it!
