Premium Member A Reflection on That Time I Let My Husband Cut My Hair
He said he’d watched a tutorial. He said symmetry was a myth fueled by Big Geometry. I laughed. That was my first mistake. My second was passing him the scissors without asking him about his dominant hand. (It was vibes. His hand was vibes.) Snip. He called it edgy. I called it accidentally spiritual— because seeing your own scalp before coffee is a kind of awakening. He apologized...

The Calendar On That Kitchen Wall
That calendar on the kitchen wall marks another crisp January's windy morning, it has brought in slowly-moving clouds, what has passed is part of evident oblivion... unless one remembers what did unfold: tragic days for most, nothing good to toast; more hungry mouths that beg for food, a terror-stricken street with deadly screams: New Orleans was the target of an assassin! Stay...

It's Raining On That Lonely Road
From this window open to sunshine, one may think that it's not raining on that lonely road forgotten by time... but raindrops won't stop falling! That was the only place of solitude and peace, the furthest place where we couldn't be seen by others, warm grass was the perfect bed so soft to eager fingers, while above noisy seagulls performed a dance! It's...

Premium Member On That First Vestal Summer Day
The sentinel sound of a hummingbird brings me back to summer a time when the grass barely touched the shoots of heaven and the sky so new was alien to the sun Pathways were open to souls as they shimmered in the light, at the threshold of new discoveries. There I stood...

Splurge On That Urge
Sometimes I have this urge The urge to cry aloud I do not let it purge I fight that big, black cloud That tempestuous surge Does totally enshroud Till I am on the verge Of being, by tears, cowed I let myself submerge In emotions that shroud In time, I will emerge Stronger than any crowd ...

Putting On That Deceptive Mask
Putting on that deceptive mask can deceive some or many, why take a useless risk? Hiding your guilt is very wrong; redeem yourself from sin, look beyond deception, don't do any more harm changing looks and moving along... carry in yourself an honesty that's worth keeping! What was yours could be taken away from you suddenly, what was precious won't last for long; look yourself in that clear mirror, understand...

Premium Member On That Shiny Red Tray
Lunch on my shiny red tray, Simply is, the luscious part of my day. Swiss steak, simply made to perfection. Mixed colorful veggies, is my culinary selection. The scent of a warm, wheat roll wafts up my nose. I have the sense, that after lunch, I will with comfort, dose. Steaming French coffee and a fresh baked chocolate cookie! A quiet nap after...

Premium Member I Linger Long, On That Bountiful Feast I Still Dine
I Linger Long, On That Bountiful Feast I Still Dine Moon's illuminations through dark window of sorrows cast moments of relief and "Hope for my tomorrows". Looking out, stars parade around truly wondrous scene stopping foulest of shadows sent, to sad soul demean. Back down to earth, into night forest seeking eyes gaze searching for deeper healing from "Nature's darkened maze". As...
