Red suit in moonlight
Footsteps hush the sleeping house—
Snow listens, bells breathe
Sleigh glides through the night,
Jolly laughter fills the air—
Magic on the roof.
A place to show my work

Red suit in moonlight
Footsteps hush the sleeping house—
Snow listens, bells breathe
Sleigh glides through the night,
Jolly laughter fills the air—
Magic on the roof.

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.

“The magic of Christmas never ends, and its greatest gifts are family and friends.” – Unknown

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.

“Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it by use.” —Ruth Gordo

“Someone will declare, ‘I am the leader!’ and expect everyone to get in line and follow him or her to the gates of heaven or hell. My experience is that it doesn’t happen that way. Others follow you based on the quality of your actions rather than the magnitude of your declarations.” ―Bill Walsh

They might look like slugs
but they are actually pugs
With squishy faces and curly tails,
They play and bark, wagging their trails
