A quiet celebration

My heart and mind belong in the silence. I smile there. The kind of smile that is often accompanied by warm tears. Another beginning, is reason enough to quietly celebrate.

FFF: That’s when I realized I could control time and space

That’s when I realized I could control time and space Friendship that spans 26 years emphasis on the 6 I haven’t see you much since then only a handful of conversations, since then but each re-connecting, reminds…confirms that we have something that time cannot steal and space cannot separate Love. — Flash Fiction(?)

A mind of your own

“My house is your house” I invited you in I asked you to stay We often meet in the dining room to dance We dance when I’m confused and when I’m hurt We dance to celebrate You remind me who I am and tell me that it’s all you’ve ever wanted I cry in your [...]


Merciful Door Abused

Belief is the hinge on the door between truth and lies Closed in faith held in place Hinges are at rest Truth is truth Lies are lies Closed by fear forced into place Hinges are fighting exhausted Truth is mine and you’re a stranger to me now
