WITHIN MORNING’S GRACE With Nature’s beauty so clearly in view, dawn breaking as the birds sing their new song of morn, I embrace the moment, the earth’s magnificent grace, a lesson to me of the way love should be.

OF SUMMER DREAMS RECALLED Summer dreams recalled within the early-morning mist, imagination’s wanderings as I linger here for a bit and gather them together, where sand meets morning waves and wind. And opening my eyes, I can feel the calm once more infusing my heart and steadying my soul just before the sunrise as I […]
ALONG THE WAY (from there to here) It’s been a pretty good year, I’d have to say, this journey I’ve been on and what I’ve experienced along the way – more smiles than frowns, more laughter than tears, and friends who share and folks who care – yes, I’d have to say it’s been a […]
Our nearby Los Angeles County Arboretum sustained major damage during the windstorms of late November. Over 200 trees and exhibits were either destroyed or damaged.

PARADISE DREAMING Paradise dreaming within this winter array, palm trees swaying in the breeze despite what the weather says; seabirds and snowbirds upon the trade winds sail. as dolphins dance upon the waves, and inviting me to swim, my senses bathed in surf and sun, so chilled am I with winter’s snow and wind. And […]
HAND-CRAFTED I come to the holidays, my hands open wide, carrying simple gifts to share with family and with friends. I come with words from deep inside, and written down as they flow through this pen I hold in my hand. I come with simple tunes to play upon my fiddle here, with names attached […]
NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT Misdirections, unintentional perceptions, roads taken mistaken, which one to follow after all? So many choices, a multitude of ways, just what AM I going to do on this fine day? Mountains to scale and oceans to cross — so much to do, so many ways to bake a cake. I don’t […]
TOWARD A MORE POSITIVE FLOW TOWARD A MORE POSITIVE FLOW BY BARBARA K A CHERYL’S PALS COLLAB Thoughts keep running through my mind; if only they’d slow down when I’m trying to unwind; thoughts often stalled and getting me nowhere fast, playing games inside my head and often causing so much dread, especially when I’m […]
DREAM ON, LITTLE ONE Dream on, Little One, though this night must seem so very dark to you, as standing upon the edge of the night, you look to the future, trying to see beyond the darkness ahead, so vast and so wide. Dream on, Little One, and may all of your dreams be filled […]
BEYOND THE SHADOWS Fractured, uncharted, beyond the shadows of morning, time leaves me spent, worn, surrendering my distant past to eternity’s light, each breath fresh and new as we travel through time.
