Now reach down in this thistle grim,
Desolate me with the edged limb.

A comatose where life and I unwed...
As minutes kiss my...

Making way...

I just gotta take a break from old man winter and my
No good for nothing lazy ass lover, so just like a night bird
In flight...

Not even when the willows grow.
Not even when a distant bird
Sings my soul’s departure.

She loves her family... 
her husband, her children, her pups and kitty. 
She loves the color purple. 
She loves the Goddess, 
all her special potions in their fancy bottles and jars. 
All her spices and...

We’re playing with shadows
On the walls of the cave
Mindset entrenched
In the patters we crave

Bound by tradition that layers the land
Held in convictions we don’t understand
Refugees camped by the tracks of our fear
Waiting for destiny year...

A magical stroll through the woods I go. 

Petrichor filling my sense of smell. 

This connection I’m feeling is more I know, 

Content I be whilst my inhibitions fell.

What matters not, now past and put away,
your welcoming brings on another scheme
and here you make your plan, you can not stay

The love you gave me like golden sunshine;
You kept me safe and taught me ways divine,
My rock when only darkness felt like mine
I pray my hand is still held within thine.
Those days, beloved, when I...

White
Snow, so beautiful and pure,
Clouds, fluffy and soft,
A candle burning in the night.
A newborn baby, crying his way into the world,
The final breath of an old man, as he passes into Summerland,
The calming sound of...
