That’s quite an eclectic collection you have there! I see quite a few familiar titles. 📚

Crescent moon so bright, it believes itself full.

The umbrella listens for the gales as the window listens for the sound of broken glass.

Beautiful… soundtrack for surviving these times.

Beautiful!

she is like
the summer wind
full of fight
warm
sharp, fierce
necessary
giving way to
a desert still
brisk nights
when the moon
grabs all her rough edges
pulling her back
consuming
enjoying what she
becomes
fire
raging
dancing, floating
crackling, exposing
her raw, her real.

he, the moth
consumed.

Great words of advice!

Good evening from the river.

Here is my strongest personal belief: the worst animal is better than the best human.

what defines the sky?
nothing.
not even bird or rain
can hold it closer
or push it farther
than it already is...
and every time you breathe
you begin to understand
the power of softness

Me too 🤗

“A sailor attached to utility squadron VJ-4 plays with kittens that were discovered in an equipment room at U.S. Naval Air Station Squantum in Massachusetts, 1942.” Original source is the National Archives but I found it in the book Cats in the Navy. www.usni.org/press/books/...

#Vesper bore sleet from purple skies. The little fae & swallowtails abandoned their thistle beds, but, huddled beneath the cloak of ice, green shoots rested, patient for the melt that always came.

Would you, at vespers, kiss my
heart so true, as Sun greets
Earth along

the horizon’s line and share
a gaze that paints the heavens’
hue?

Would you then linger as twilight
fades our lips touched
in violet's glow

And hold me close in night's
shade where moon sets
the stars aglow

It is not the measure
But the means
By which we will all be judged.

Just think
where I would be
if my life
had unfolded differently.

I'd be right here
asking the question,
where I would be
if my life
had unfolded differently?
