Release

When in
deep thought, I pick
up the pen and paper
and describe my deepest thoughts and
wishes.

After

After
the gathering,
I ready myself for
new aspirations while going
to work.

07/30/2018

Tears

I never thought
we would gather
to reflect on
your death.

Fond memories,
morphing to the
final weeks of
your life.

I knew we were
there to reflect,
yet your loss still
hit hard,

Our reflections
culminating
to the active
free write:

Tear Water Tea,
my memories of you
crashing across my mind
like waves,

Splintering the lock
that held my composure
at bay, my mind
almost breaking.

And then,
the emotions stedied.
my control returned.

I was with my
loving group, yet
I needed to
stay strong.

I know that I
am not alone
in my mourning.

Yet, the tea must
wait for another time.

The tears may flow, alone.

connecting with
my poetry sisters
as we share in New York every

hours prepping
for a new theme next month,
the material loved by the

One More

One more
day of dreary
skies, and we are hopeful
for a break in the weather and
run free.

we found someone
who will preserve precious
moments in photos, I can now

Rainfall

I am
preparing for
a possibly long work
week, made longer by the constant
rainfall.

Overcast

I gaze
out the window
and view the overcast
sky, clouds blanketing the quiet street
with fog.

Planning

Planning
a memorable
day brings equal amounts
of excitement and huge budget
worries.

Friday Morning

I have
uncertainty
on how the day will go,
but I count down the end to this

Catching

Catching
a couple more
minutes of rest before
I ready myself for a new

Rising
to another

to dig up my

Moments
before I leave,
I gather the useful
materials needed for a
long day.

Never Enough

After

the day is done,

I still wonder what could

have been done differently to ease 

their stress.

07/12/2018

Hopefully

Sharing
with my friend the
wonderful news is a
great relief. Hopefully she will
be there.

Services

Searching
for services
that are 'just right' for our
special day; overwhelming, but
worth it.

Contact

Sometimes
life brings some news
which comes as a surprise,
and we must remember to keep
contact.

Just Right

We spent
the afternoon
surrounded with music,
books, and relaxation under
clear skies.

evening of beer and good
food with my fiance wraps up
the day.

Outcomes

We make
decisions that
sets new stages of life
in motion, and the outcome is
your own.

Navigating

I want

to reach out and 

communicate with them,

yet their resistance is strong, too

rigid. 

07/05/2018

Mindset

Taking
time to gather
my thoughts, reorganize
my life, so I can reframe my
mindset.

through belongings
to make a functional
