an early morning fog hovers
thickest by rooftops
chased away by streetlights
and yet stars twinkle through
Light shines from Heaven above
saying, “I Am here”
even in the dark, quiet, stillness
of an early morning walk
with that dog I love so BIG
God loves me more

smilin’ at the tilted half moon
looks like a sideways grin
turning from silver to gold
as darkness deepens
and clouds dance on either side
smilin’ at the tilted half moon
from my second story window
tonight

Dear Sad Girl,
Your eyes have lost their sparkle.
Must be those dark circles, detracting and subtracting the twinkle from your eyes, the windows to your creative soul.
Your face is set and sullen.
That grin that once was impish, now set in a line or hangin’ inside down.
Holy hell what a mess.
I know it’s hard now, in this moment, but we’ll get you through this.
Someday soon Faith, Hope and Love will heal the wounds within.
Keep on going.
Day by day abiding.
The loving arms of friends and family will catch you when you fall.
So try to find your smile.
Savor Joy in the quiet colors of the dawn.
Pep talks are FREE and plentiful.
Hugs are often the best medicine.
Love is the easy part.
Start by being gentle with yourself.
Love,
Me

damn
double damn
this is not how I wanted today to start
with a headache threatening at my temples upon waking
and you throwing my words from yesterday back at me
yes I do need quiet time
so I can handle the noise and commotion
but I need you too
I thought the walls came down
in the storm of emotion
a few weeks ago
but they are going back up
because the wounds are deep
on both sides
no wonder my head hurts
damn
double damn
this sucks

Same sentiment still applies.

quiet pink streaks
fade to peach
in a pale blue gray sky
I watch the rising of the sun
from my kitchen window
the dishes are even done

Last night I slept not long, under the grin of a crooked crescent moon.
On an early morning walk with the dog, the stars were still a twinklin’.
But try as I might, I couldn’t find that slim, silver crescent in the dark of early morn.

I did my best Rock Star impression today by wearing black sunglasses trimmed in animal print, that cover half my face, even while indoors. Glad that dreaded eye dilation appointment is behind me and that the news was good. Normal. *happy sigh*

I’m a complicated woman
married to a conundrum of a man
Is every marriage like this?
Damn
subtle colors
quiet in tone
this morning’s sun rose
in shades of peach
warming to gold
with the palest of blue
mmmmmmm
oh, so lovely
a soothing balm
much needed
for this hurting heart
today

Hope the storm fronts, steer clear of you. Hope the wind still whispers sometimes and makes you smile. May rain be a soothing balm, bringing nourishment and life after summer’s drought. Wishin’ sunny skies, balmy breezes and smooth sailin’ for you. Always. ~ Me
