LOST AND FOUND By Barbara A Cheryl’s Pals Collab Lost within the darkness, I find myself confused, where day is night and night is day, within this place where nothing seems right as I aimlessly wander through darkened passageways, no end in sight, a terrible fright. In fact . . . . the deeper I […]
UNFOLDING The day unfolds from what was night darkness once more giving way to morning light. And within a darkened space, a void that once had been, a seed finds a home, a spot of nourishment that wasn’t there before; and takes root, takes hold and rises once again, from what had been […]

PICKING UP THE PIECES By Barbara K A Cheryl’s Pals Collab Broken and tattered, my emotions tossed aside, worn, torn and exhausted, I desperately try to recover what’s left of me inside; trying to collect all the tears that I’ve shed, gathering up the pieces of what’s left […]

And as the sun prepares to set, the day beginning to slip away and out of sight, butterflies and fairies grace the flowers and trees and steal my heart away. For within this garden, this […]
FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT I. Thoughts and emotions in clear disarray beginning to flow from darkness to light, my heart beginning to feel what my eyes finally see.
