Full Moon

Selene's silver rays
surrounds us with its light on
this chilly evening.

Secrets

Whispered in the dark,

confided to another,

or kept to oneself,

they lay under the surface

just waiting to be revealed.

Not Distant

While resting in bed

during the pre-dawn hours,

I took comfort in

knowing that good friends are not

distant from my quiet life.

Bags

I remember the days
of you coming home

With bags upon bags
of items lined

In the hallway,
groceries or

Daily necessities
for the week,

And I would help
you bring these bags

To your home, up
three flights of steps,

But it needed
to be done.

Today, while in
my family's home

I answered the door
and saw the bags

Lying on the
foot of the stairs,

My grandmother
coming home with

Her weekly groceries.
It immediately

Threw me back to the days
where I helped you

Bring your bags home.
I swallowed the rising

Lump in my throat,
swallowed back the

Tears that threatened to come,
and went to help

My grandmother,
your mother,

Bring her groceries home;
a simple gesture,

And it needed
to be done.

Daily

As we all gathered
this evening, I once again
gave thanks that you are
always present, although you
are always missed every day.

Holidays

Hearing the joyous
sounds of singing and music,
neighboring buildings
readying themselves for the
upcoming holiday.

Evolve

As the days go by,

my thread continues to weave

between my stories,

the tapestry of my life

always changing, evolving.
