Amplitude in a Small Apartment
There is a need for quietness today, I listen to my neighbor's toilet flush, it takes a long time for the sound to drain away and refill, I hold seconds inside my mind between that rise and fall. There is space for listening, the trash compactor chews on when switched off. I hear conversations filtering through the air conditioner, words both distinct and garbled. Yesterdays hurried meal speaks...

Premium Member Small
I refuse to languish in obscurity hiding parts of my personality. As a target I stood. Verity will always light up the dark. A white lightning rod, an electric spark as what’s solid is viewed. I am the woman with oneiric eyes, the one who’s focus is the far off prize. No nonsense attitude. Shrinking yourself back into a bubble, sounds...

Premium Member Listen To That Still, Small Voice
Proverbs 18:12 “Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.” In the stillness of my senses, I hear a voice the voice – often distant, giving me its opinion when I look at the world and see, it is me that looks to be, the one I hear telling me to give into the...

JUNE BERRIES
Juicy and sweet, these berries delight, Unique flavor with a hint of almond's bite. Native to North America's land, Eaten fresh or dried, both are grand. Baked into pies or made into jam, Enjoyed in wines, a treat for the fam. Rosy bronze leaves in spring's embrace, Rich in nutrients, a healthful grace. Indigenous peoples cherished them so, Essential vitamins they bestow. Saskatoon berries, nature's...

a small fish
A Little Fish I opened a tin of sardines in olive oil for my evening meal. Headless and nicely packed they were, except for one that had a head-on was alive. I filled water in a jar. Put the sardine in and fed it bread crumbs. The headless sardines in the tin, so still and dead, I could not eat them,...

The Small Mother
“That Night, I Became a Mother” She came in and curled up to sleep, not a care, not a sound— while her brother cried soft, lost sobs in the hollow quiet of the night. I reached out—just a hand on his head, and somehow, that was enough. But each time I pulled away, the silence shattered into tears again. So I stayed. A stranger to...

Small and Simple Wins the Race
Grace once took me by the throat And squeezed until I gave up Pride, But Pride remained still unprovoked As will began to slowly die So faith stepped up and begged for hope But hope preferred unstable waters, Which brought despair on noose and rope And silenced all I had that mattered Yet faith prevailed, though by a smidge As small...

Premium Member Love for Children
In rooms where futures are decided, old men argued about small voices, children who had been silenced for a thousand years. "Should we teach them in English, the language of their masters? Or let them speak in their grandmother's tongue?" One truth burned bright: every word they chose would echo in ten million hearts. They decided: Let the Kannada child dream in Kannada first, let the Tamil child sing Tamil...

Don't Worry About the Small Things
Don’t Worry About The Small Things Life is too short to worry. Burdens are exhausting. Always stressed. Water under the bridge. We all have problems. We are consumed. Life can be overwhelming. Even the small things. Not knowing. Leave your worries behind. Do you trust in him? Do you ever look above? Sometimes, wonder. We...

A couple small scars
I dig the blade into my skin I don’t get why it’s such a sin. People drink until they drown Until they can’t hear a sound People smoke until they’re high Until they think they’re in the sky People avoid until there’s nothing Until the pain starts numbing What’s wrong with a couple small scars? How much different are they really from bars...

Premium Member When I Was Small
I spied an ant beneath a kitchen sink and I remembered as he made me think about that steely silent battle of wills, under a wee mushroom, below its gills, when I was a hopeful, contending drone competing for the queen upon her throne. ...
