A place to show my work
Midnight bells ring soft and clear,
Evergreen boughs bring winter cheer.
Ribbons shimmer, candles glow,
Reflecting warmth in drifting snow.
Yuletide songs in harmony.
Carols fill the frosty air,
Hopes and dreams beyond compare.
Reflections dance in candlelight,
Inviting love on this special night.
Snowflakes twirl, a graceful flight,
Together we share joy and delight.
Moments cherished, laughter shared,
Around the tree, we feel cared.
Spirits lift as hearts unite.
I can hear her screams
Punctuating the darkness
I think she needs help
In this night so deep and dark
There is hope for her, I feel

Juxtaposition
Opposes all the others
From their point of view
Arguing while suffering
Contrasting views must be heard

Remove shoes and socks
Then walk on the ground barefoot
The earth holds your feet
Feel the connection to earth
Nature’s energy flows deep

The night’s tranquility soothes the anxious nerves surrounding you, bringing a sense of calmness.
Elope, elope, the lovers cried,
From their families, they’ll surely hide.
Escape into the night so dark,
Slink away to make their mark.
The beating heart tells me that I’m alive.
In joy or in deep, cold fear
Every breath strives forward.
They might look like slugs
but they are actually pugs
With squishy faces and curly tails,
They play and bark, wagging their trails

Frosty windows hide
Much of the daylight outside
Less shadows inside
Keep negative thoughts away
Focus on good, not the bad

Allow me
to be myself,
Allow me
to have fun,
Allow me
to grow,
Allow me
to make mistakes,
Allow me
to shine in my own way,
Allow me
to find my voice,
Allow me
to chase my dreams,
Allow me
to explore the unknown,
Allow me
to embrace the bold,
Allow me
to dance to my own rhythm,
Allow me
to love deeply and freely,
Allow me
to be proud of who I am,
Allow me
to live fully, with a heart wide open and a spirit unbound.
Seeing red
Anger builds inside
Boiling to a point
Where reason takes a ride.
Fury ignites the air,
Like flames that dance and sway,
Words sharp as daggers fly,
In the heat of disarray.
But beneath the stormy clouds,
A flicker of calm resides,
A choice to turn the tide,
And let compassion guide.
So take a breath, release the strain,
Let the tempest fade away,
For in the quiet aftermath,
We find peace to light the day.
I sit here and reflect,
We used to be close,
Will we ever get that back?
Only time will tell, I suppose.
Memories linger like whispers in the air,
Laughter shared, secrets bare,
But distance grows with every day,
Will the path to you fade away?
I think of the moments, the dreams we spun,
The light-hearted jokes, the races we’d run.
Yet shadows creep in, doubt starts to swell,
In the silence between us, a story we can’t tell.
But hope lies dormant, waiting for its cue,
Like the dawn that breaks after the night’s dark hue.
Perhaps one day we’ll find our way,
And rediscover the bond that time can’t fray.
So I sit here and reflect,
With a heart full of wishes, a soul to connect,
For though life may twist like a winding road,
I’ll hold onto your memory, like a precious ode.
We all must be loved
Sometime within all our lives
In the very least.
Kindness and warmth we seek here
Embracing love we find peace

Day ends and night falls
Twilight gives way to darkness
Hints of day are gone.
Painting beauty in the sky
A pure vision of perfection

Threads of color, woven tight,
Tell a story in the light.
Hands that labor, hearts that dream,
Stitch together every seam.
Patterns shifting, bold and new,
Old and ancient, woven through.
Every strand a tale to tell,
Of love and loss, remembered well.
Gold and scarlet, blue and green,
Blend in ways yet to be seen.
Each connection, strong and true,
Forms a world from what we do.
Step back, see the grand design,
Life and fate in threads entwine.
A tapestry of joy and pain,
Woven once, not made again.
