Ripe juicy berries
Sweetened by the summer sun
Succulent delights

Red haze shimmering
Lighting the soft lake ripples
Engulfed by darkness

Valerie Axford Poem
God sent me an angel
to see me through my day
God sent me an angel
to nudge me on my way
God sent me an angel
to follow me on my path
God sent me an angel
so I wouldn’t live as half
God sent me an angel
to stand right by my side
God sent me an angel
to be my silent guide
God sent me an angel
to see me through my life
God sent me an angel
so I could live through strife
God sent me an angel
to keep alive my soul
God sent me an angel
to help me to my goal
God sent me an angel
to guide my way back home
God sent me an angel
so I wouldn’t be alone
God made me an angel
to help you on your way
God made me an angel
to be sent to you each day

Valerie Axford Poem
I tumbled and turned
In such graceful ways
I threw myself down
In polished displays
Spinning on the bars
In aerobic plays
I rose up so high
In a whirling craze
Perched high on the beam
My small frame amazed
My parents watched in awe
Of my fearless haze
The tumbles got harder
And weakened my knees
Puberty beckoned
With growths that displeased
Curvy shape so adored
Hindered spinning ease
The frequent aching
Became a disease
Gymnastics, my love
No longer a breeze
My heart became heavy
My soul to appease
Now that I’m older
My brain’s pain embossed
Adult reasoning
Risk assessment crossed
Days gliding through air
Risk of body tossed
I see the dangers
The fun over glossed
Movements I now fear
At what a great cost
To gymnastics love
My fearless heart lost

Unimpeded night
Poured a stillness in the air
Moon rose to midnight

Celebrates season return

Crawls to the surface
Foraging to feed the nest
An infestation
