One step at a time is sometimes harder than it sounds.
Patience There’s a tree in the distance Its branches covered in ice Fragile they have become under the strain of winter's paint A crackling noise can be heard as the wind blows against its majesty but it holds its ground Deeply embedded roots secure its balance and sheer determination can be seen in...

Where do my travels take me?
Adventurers They speak of sailing to Paris to eat duck confit Tell tales or arduous climbs of Machu Picchu or hiking across Indonesia with only Nikon and spoon Yawning yarns of adventure to look cool Rhapsodizing about the African wilderness Urban-myth forming experiences spill from the mouths of...

Are you going to become a cantankerous old whiner?
Dewdrops Will I become the irascible eccentric spinning fascinating tales for anyone who will listen Repeating, repeating Will my hands be gnarled with time and aging and my face filled with secrets never to be told Will my words be filled with gratitude or will bitterness be the bite in my stories...

Sizzling hot
Fire Where there’s smoke is there smoldering embers or a fire fueled by fear Do the flames lick the walls of temptation or do they dry a lover’s tears Do the sparks ignite the glow within us or do they engulf the forgotten years Is the rage a figment of imagined heat Does is scorch, or singe, or...
