TOWARD THE BEYOND — CPC “Pick-Apart Poetry”

TOWARD THE BEYOND   Outside the windows of my morning, shadows of distant summers past surrender to the leaves of autumn, my mind traveling forward through uncharted space and time toward sundown, through eternity, and beyond the limits of the unknown.   (c) barbara kausteklis 9-27-11 Written for CPC Pick-Apart Poetry Featuring Valentine Smith’s “In […]

THE PLACE FOR ME TO BE (in words and photo)

THE PLACE FOR ME TO BE I’ve imagined all those places where I thought I could be happy and content and live comfortably — the islands of the Pacific, the southern coast of France, New Zealand, Nova Scotia and places beyond; within time and space such endless possibilities.

MISSING YOU (Collab and Photo)

MISSING YOU BY BARBARA K A CHERYL’S PALS COLLAB Gentle breezes caress my heart across this moonlit night, lilting melodies whistling upon the evening air.

Hiding behind default pictures

Standing in the shadows, Looking within To look without, I see a myriad faces, Dancing with everyone in everything.
