Beneath the sunset, tall sweet grass sways silently, Charleston Bay sighs. Gold kisses green at day's end, gentle waves of amber light....

Premium Member Charleston Merman
We were vacationing in the state of palm trees and seashore in September's mild loveliness. Me, a sexagenarian widow, hobbled by arthritis in my knees. As my family enjoyed the surf, I sat contented on a creaking wooden pier, taking in the salted breeze tossing my gray hair. I heard the seawater beneath me ripple, then a splash, and a masculine, "Hello," there in the mossy colored...

Premium Member Charleston, Pre Spring
Pollen green 3 inches Of allergen confection, powders outdoor landmarks. A few ticks past dawn, New birds, preflight, Tune up their chirping chords, Like nature's philharmonic, knowing the neighborhood Is soon to enter their amphitheater, in, from their rooms of sleep. Little lizards scurry, large clouds puff up and move through, Steel blue, morning skies. Sunshine coats deer and fox, Chipmunk and...

Forgiveness, In Memory of the Victims of Charleston Church Shooting
It was an altar of prayer but God didn't rise evil entered the house in a noble disguise. Bullets were strewn sanity was killed bodies fell as corpses blood did spill. And hatred had the victory on that grisly day, it seemed. It was pain, agony and cry they felt in their mind and hearts, they were the kin of the happy churchgoers. "I forgive...

For Charleston
For Charleston I lifted up prayers on a sparrow's wing; When I heard what happened in old Charleston town. I thought I heard the voices of angels sing; Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound. As I looked to the sky, my eyes filled with tears; My heart was heavy with pain. Wanting to see signs to appear; That we would see you...

Sorrow In Charleston
"What if we could facetime the creator of hate crimes to simply show them that all their dark motives are the root of why the world will not shine, how many times do we have to preach that black lives matter and the discussion disappears a couple of weeks after a tragedy happens, that's even...

Charleston Harbor
The brightly colored houses lighten my emotions. The cobblestone streets encourage by shaking the worries away. A town on the ocean's edge, aware of the power of nature yet at peace. Time undulates and ebbs with the tide as life is carefree. Historic restoration, reminds us that living has not changed really. Life, birth, death and taxes continue along...
