"Life without Love is like a harp without strings." ~ ~~~~~~~~~~
Haven Without love there would be only bitterness house without home A pen would write in vain and whispers would become a pantomime In a world narrow and short dull and thinning our spirits would cease to sing In gape and wonder we search for the echoes of love and its nurturing light and glimmer...

“If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts” but if he
will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties” ~ Francis Bacon Line Opaque ideas turned translucent with each and every doubt Bubble-like epiphanies popped when the pin drops whether we hear it or not Hard and fast rules broken or coated with cobwebs of defiant thinking Stable...

“Sit in reverie, and watch the changing color of the waves that break
upon the idle seashore of the mind ” ~ Longfellow Crashing Jade the colour of my thinking The night sighs of wind and rain the melody of my reminiscence Red fierce yet ultimately beautiful courses through my veins with beat and fury Green the portrait of my dormant envy Shaded yet still awash with...

“If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't need to sing at all.”
~ Billie Holiday Arabesque There are days when I can feel the salt spray of the sea sprinkle upon my lips a taste too joyous for tears Or when wind and autumn’s aroma mingle at their own will lifting the air and lifting some more there is no room for melancholy There are days when my laugh is soft...

"I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside...
Fading Upon the riverbank I sit in quiet dream and ponder beneath the autumn leaves which conspire to banish summer dreams And even though there is now thistle and dry grasses in sway there is still a faint tale of summer’s free-falling and those sunlit dances of sweet, cool lemonade and gardens...

"When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble
a nail." ~ Abraham Maslow Barren Standing as a testament that love and lover’s healing can sometimes slip and hide behind the shadows Rusted and leaning teetering amidst the barren of broken, blistered or besieged she swallows the bitter pill of disappointment sips from the cup of woe is me Swan...

"...the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind” ~ Einstein

"How can you mend a broken heart, how can you stop the rain from
falling down..." ~ Bee Gees Drench Like the touch of rain he drenches me in a carefully woven kiss Awash with mirth and kindness I am stolen from those moments bare lifted into the colours of the earth and the hues of a rising moon I am drawn into the changing winds of laughter blown into the heave...

"You can't put a Band-Aid on every boo-boo; some just need time to heal"
Feast My inner critic judging and mistrusting in ways I never imagined possible Plagued by retrospect and the certainty that I am flawed Yet longingly I reach for the wholeness the essence of me no longer feeling like an uninvited guest at the feast of life

“Discontent is want of self-reliance; it is infirmity of will” ~ Emerson
Luminous My mind though at this time is in a turbid, restless state it churns and churns some more Beneath the murk lies unspeakable things things no one really wants to hear and if they do they nod knowingly yet they know not of what they nod There is neither dreamy or fanciful musing only a world...
