The ocean has its own way of speaking peace to the soul. Standing in its waves, I felt calm, free, and reminded that even storms pass. Grateful for the beauty of natureπ

A golden sun setting over Lake Michigan with orange and red hues. Gentle blue waves are rolling onto the shoreline.
Sunset at the lake.

Poem on white background with gold filigree edging.
Poem reads:
once glamoured my house
covered in fairy prisms and spells
none could find it
without announced intent
I caught myself this way too
itβs lonely as invisible
blending into mirrored walls
distrusting ones who say they see
still living between worlds
I wonder
how to wear the sparkle
still be seen

#writingcommunity I'm going to start posting the covers of my books and would live to see other authors join in. I do my own cover designs, except for books four and five. Those were original paintings by a couple of my artist friends in Bellingham.

Labyrinthian
Risking our necks for the slightest chances,
running a mile from all fleeting glances,
no one can tell me love weaves its docile course.
Drafting crude letters at crazy hours,
swallowing potions, scaling towers,
restless, reluctant and always, forever, yours.
Dressed to the nines, pretentions naked,
fears crying out, hopes understated,
playing with chips I cannot afford to lose.
Sifting through safes, then under floorboards,
pondering facts, maintaining scoreboards,
making it up and looking to you for clues.
Clueless as me, you shrug your shoulders.
Left on its own, intention moulders,
innocent slave to wandering plot's design.
Let us be bold, obscure inventions,
free of all taste, soft grey conventions.
Anything under your duvet would prove divine.
Here's 'Labyrinthian' from my poetry collection 'The Breadcrumb Trail', out now π§

Even in the darkness, this little moth reminds us that beauty still exists in quiet places. With wings like painted art and courage to fly through the night, it teaches us to stay gentle, stay strong, and always follow the light, no matter how small it may seem.

Even the clouds know how to carry their weight with grace. Some days are heavy, some are light, but the sky always clears. Keep holding on, brighter moments are ahead." βοΈβ¨

Even in the toughest ground, life finds a way to rise. This old mound, covered in green, reminds me that strength and growth often come from unexpected places. Nature always teaches us something beautiful.πΏπ

The sky is partially blocked by trees, and the trees are partly obscured by people. It's like life, always veiled in layer after layer. The presence of shadows doesn't mean there's no light sometimes, it's all about imagination.

#writingcommunity I mentioned a while back that I had mentored two high school students who wanted to publish a novel for their junior project. The novel is not only published, but scored a grade of 100 percent. That's Aina on the left, Kristina on the right, along with the proud mentor.
