My Poetry and Prose Blogology
Slow Trails
“…opening a door and your mind
to skies of calming and natural prisms
diffusing wilder colors…”

Peace Trails
“baptized in the caressing dews of willows—
we emerge beneath an azure-blue atmosphere
redeemed once again—in a fresh ray of hope”

Loftier Trails
trails render our escape
they trap our darkness
upon outcrops of repose
and soothe our anxieties
in meadows of wildflower…
Finding Poetry in My Depression
“and now—after many long—scribbled out years
stumbling over words with my heavenly creator
I have finally learned to humbly deal with it—
even through all its unexpected ebbs and flows”
Open Borders
I thought this poem appropriate considering the turmoil and suffering in Ukraine beginning last evening.
