Summer Highlights

I cherish summer
days spent together, our hands
entwined as we
witness the sunset, walking
out to warm, sandy beaches.

filled with obstacles, yet your

Phone Call

We were on the phone
for over an hour. A
crisis in her life
brought on a sudden need to
reach out to a long lost friend.

Recharge

As the winter chill
brings a time of dormancy,
I think of a plan
to rejuvenate myself,
so my soul can fly once more.

Seeking Comfort

A pre-winter chill
overtakes the northern skies,
and I take comfort
in his embrace, creating
a comfort warmed by pure love.

Sunset

As the setting sun
paints shades of orange across
darkening skies, I
think about the sudden turns
my precious life has taken.

Grains of Sand

Life flows like grains of
sand, its beauty flowing through
my fingers with ease,
countless memories carried
away by the changing wind.

Shining

The shine in your eyes
glow from miles away, a sign
that you are moving
forward with your journey, not
letting the past hold you back.

Your words speak to my
soul very sweetly, calling
to my heart in such
a loving way, enclosing
me with intense compassion.

Darker

The days grow darker
as the winter solstice draws
near, a perfect time
to look within as our world
becomes harsh and chaotic.

Challenge

While walking around
I gaze at the overcast
sky and wonder how
I can draw up my inner

Bonding

Loved ones, during times
of great need, treasure gentle
words and loving deeds
as they endure their darkest
moments, strengthening the bonds.

We are afraid to
spend our lives alone, yet friends
and family are there
to support us, comforting
in times of our greatest need.

Untangle

I untangle my
hands from the chaotic thread
of emotions that
restricted me for so long. Now,
I begin my journey home.
