Dribbling through our fingers
Never to return.

Shi Sai Sunday’s Week in ReVerse – 12 June 2016
Happy Sunday! Another chapter and verse review of the past week. An interesting Shi Sai, in that it reads more like a story than poetry, but that doesn’t surprise me. I was able to carve out a bit of time to participate in a few flash fiction challenges. I’ve missed those!
So today I give you a prose poem that tells a story of its own. And as with any good story there is a simple lesson to take away. In a nutshell I think this week was telling me to say what I mean… and mean what I say. And it’s also a reminder to me that I need to say the important things while the people who mean the most to me are still here to hear me say them.
Tell those that you love that you do, speak kindly to strangers, don’t hold your tongue when it comes to the truth. Life is too short for regrets.
Love and light to you…and peace…always peace. ❤️
Shi Sai Sunday’s Week in ReVerse – 12 June 2016
I’ll probably regret this…oh well!
sometimes it’s best to leave things alone.
…slips of the tongue…
Who would do such a thing?!
…full of chatter, laughter and memories of those that were lost
gloaming on the cusp
We have gravitated to other means of speaking our mind…
clipping through choppy swells
as if they truly mean it…
Why couldn’t you just tell me while you were still here…kat ~ 12 June 2016
Spring Migration
“Blue Expanse” by Arkady Rylov
clipping through choppy swells sparked by the spring thaw
the frigate splinters remnant ice shards along ancient aerial pathways
on her maiden spring voyage piloted by instinctual murmurs
across the frigid brackish sea embedded in their DNA,
as cumulus clusters a gaggling cacophony of lusty honks
hang low in the cerulean sky, trumpeting their arrival
a profound sight to behold to land dwellers on the shore.

At Dusk – A Haiku
Amber light dances
atop wind fluttered oak trees
gloaming on the cusp.

The Bracelet
“Who would do such a thing?!” Mae Brown asked the Officer when he arrived.
“When did you first notice the broken statue Mrs. Brown?
“This morning. They must have done it last night.”
“Have you noticed anything else out of place?”
“No. Except, do you see the bracelet on the left wrist? That’s new.”
Mae thought about it for a moment. It looked like the bracelets she had sent to the neighborhood girls recently. There were the Monroe twins across the street, and Sue next door and Amanda on the corner. Amanda! Oh dear, Mae thought, such a sweet girl. What was I thinking giving a bracelet to a girl who lost both hands in a fire!
“Did you think of something Mrs. Brown? Anything you remember will help us get to the bottom of this.”
“No officer. Thank you for coming.”
“Well, if you think of anything, let us know.”
Mae wouldn’t be calling the officer anytime soon. But she would be planning a visit to a certain little girl to ask her forgiveness.
