Later, they’d say he was the villain, the man who fled his own shadow. No one mentioned the envelope thick with cash in the sexton’s pocket, or the father’s wine-stained lips sealing...

Moist sheets tossed aside soaked pillows Side by side She was wet Dime sack and tree rings Green sight meet brown peepers Plumb late April Boreal Plains humidity Abittor Unami eau de cologne Thin plain pink blanket on the window Air conditioner recirculating Salmon rays preen her face Noon spring afternoon the rain stopped the sun peeked in Bare cucumber blooms sticky seeds Hanging over pickled The...

I was living with my family, And was a happy child. My Father helped me grew up, To live a struggling life... Messy hairs with darks around my faces, Everyday I woke up with tears in my eyes...

The reason why Jesus...

Father, because of you I feel so relaxed, Through You today I'll chill. Let all be well inside my heart, Because calmness is your will.

Comes our God motherly, motherly, motherly, Holding us tenderly when we're in pain. Comes our God fatherly, fatherly, fatherly, Strength'ning us daily to face life again. Just what will tomorrow bring causes me worry With so many tasks that I plan to complete, And the thought of it makes me feel weary already. I lay down my head and then struggle to...

I held her first before the world, A tiny hand, a dream unfurled. So small she lay upon my chest, My loudest heart, my quiet rest. She looked at me with eyes so wide, As if I’d hung the stars with pride. And in that gaze, I clearly knew, My life had found a purpose true. I taught her how to tie her...

Once upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace, she shone like the midnight sun; I must confess, she looked rather whimsical sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore!   Would you like to hear more about the fairy girl, whose name was Amethyst? As...
