TINY DANCER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
patiently she waits in the dark
waiting 'till someone lifts the lid and turns the key

she stands en pointe forever

Premium MemberBitter truths for tiny forks

food fit for palaces
prepared with expert chef's care —

food morsel they like
each taste an invitation
to get braver by

   The firefly said to the tiny flea
     ‘What good you do I cannot see

   You lose your way in a plush rug or carpet’

Premium MemberDAILY GRATITUDE TINY MIRACLES

Today I’m grateful for butterflies and luna moths…
how they easily deceive the naked eye….
How when we see them for a moment we believe…
there are flowers that can fly.

      Fit as a fiddle, though extremely slim

         Poor Tim had weakling muscles
         And needed a side hustle

With the gigantic size cheese,

Premium MemberA hundred tiny joys, a kaleidoscope of sensations blooming in my soul

A hundred tiny joys, a kaleidoscope of sensations blooming in my soul,
Warm water caressing my skin, a veil of mystery covering the world,
Birds chirping at dawn, a smile exchanged with a kind stranger,
The silence that envelops me, the scent of an old book, thumbed through countless times.

The smell of my favorite perfume on clothes, the

Premium MemberIn this tiny corner of random order, where life weaves its thin thread

In this tiny corner of random order, where life weaves its thin thread,
There exists a vast universe of chaos, a sea of darkness and mystery that surrounds us,
All people feel that chaos, a silent presence that shadows the edge of consciousness,
But some hide from it, building invisible walls and refusing to look at it.
These are
