"Time to write"

Its time to write.
 Get ready. Pen in hand. 
 Notebook open to a crisp, clean page.
 Cuddle into a cozy chair
 with a cup of hot tea.
Its time to write.
 Just waiting for inspiration.

"COLD"

Photo by Melanie Ann

Crystal clear coldness chills me to the core
My skin tightens and pulls on itself
Craving something to warm me
Clawing at the blanket
Little nubby bumps flick my arm hair straight 
Creating a space to feel truly warm
Considering a wet-warm shower
My fingers are frozen from flying across the keys
Crazy creatures canvasing cyberspace for a caveat of a cold-front 

"So quiet, so still"

The silence stings my ears
so quiet, so still

Alone with my thoughts
so quiet, so still

My mind wanders between a beautiful peace
    & earth shaking uncertainty
Fear often takes over in the silence

I am frightened of it all
so quiet, so still
Someone rescue me
so quiet, so still.

"Saying goodbye"

Lay your flowers on the dirt
Water them well with your tears
It will never be enough to simply miss her
Your heart is too scared to beat again
    horrified to lose her, again
Words fail as your tongue is humbled 
The wind wraps around you
    hugging you one last time
Her life goes on through your memories
Be strong, hold her high
Say good-bye

"Untitled"

Soft
    sweet
  loving
       child
  tiny
     fingers
   lock with mine
