leaves on the ground
breeze passes by silently
bare branches sway

Things I Love
Things I Love
There is no logic to the things I love
The creamy froth on my chai latte
Morning dew on a spider’s web
The clean, calming scent of lavender
In my garden as I pass by
The giddy anticipation I feel when
Packing my suitcase for a trip
The glow of a promise made
When I look at the gold band on my finger

Paper Journal
Paper Journal
I love the feel of pen gliding
Across a sheet of paper
The magic of transforming
Blank pages into word art
I love the whiff of ink
That tickles my nose
As each page fans
the air in turn
I love looking backward
And moving forward
Within the creamy pages
Of straight lined paper

B&Ps Shadorma and Beyond – Nov 12, 016
Leonard Cohen is our inspiration for this week – especially his song Hallelujah
And over in the Imaginary Garden With Real Toads we are writing about those Still Points in our lives.
Heartsong
They stole my
words And spun them round
they didn’t
sound The same
Or even tell the story
That I meant to tell
They set them
To a melody
that Charmed the crowds And
fooled some fools
Until I
Wrenched them back again and sang
The song of my heart

The Beacon
Adrift I float
No gentle breeze
To send me home
only dreams
To guide me
To urge me forward
Through doubts and fears
I am not afraid
To travel on
Hope shines brightly
A beacon on the horizon
