day’s fading
.
but
the final word
falls
to the setting sun
with a reminder assuring us
that dawn
is promised, sure as dusk
time now to settle in
to dream dreams
to rest my spent soul

More glimmers of light to keep me through the night. light is not always bright and blinding. Sometimes it is muted, in varying shades. Sometimes it sparkles. Sometimes it is a flickering glint. But always it draws us to its warmth.
Much love, peace, and glimmers of light to you.

blue velvet
sky
after many
days
of clouds, wind, and rain
heals the heart like nothing else in life
flowers,
people need poetry
and light to heal
remember…
darkness fades away

Blue skies after days of gray is such a wonderful glimmer!
Much love, peace, and glimmers…and sunshine to you.

blue ridge blush
.
dawn
in the foothills
glows
mountain peaks a-blush
in shades of pale vermillion
I’ve passed
these distant pinnacles
oh so many times
but hardly
noticed them ‘til now
~kat
much love, peace, and glimmers to you

What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
truth tellers
when telling the truth
is revolutionary
we should not whisper
~kat
It goes without saying…or maybe I need to say it out loud…truth is real, attainable, knowable, undeniable, verifiable by actual facts. Naysayers who say otherwise are lying. Which brings me to another, dare I say, truth, that should be obvious…but bears reminding…lies are not real.
Okay then…much love, peace, and glimmers to you…today’s sunrise was a true thing of beauty.

Do you ever see wild animals?
wild animals
I see animals
wander by everyday
they don’t know they’re wild
but I am certain
that they must find humans strange
and most dangerous
who can really say
what is wild and what is not
when men kill for sport

A trio of haiku in response to the WordPress daily prompt question. I heard a report today detailing the torture happening in my country to people who have been disappeared for being assumed to be illegal. There’s a morbid irony to what is happening. Our immature, unqualified leaders are quick to defend their abhorrent actions as justified. Their cruelty is warranted “To protect the people of our nation”, so they say. How easy it is for cowards and frauds to blow unarmed boats to smithereens leaving no witnesses, and worst of all, providing no record of the crimes that allegedly doomed the victims. How easy it is to deny heath care to millions and health services to women, leaving them to die from pregnancy complications. To separate children from parents whose only crime was believing that our country might provide a better life for them if they could just get here. How easy it is for our so-called leaders to plan lavish ballrooms and hold massive banquets flaunting their gluttony while slashing food aid to the poor.
When I considered today’s prompt question I thought about the animals that live just outside my door here at the wood’s edge. Songbirds, squirrels, raccoons, turtles, snakes, deer, owls, hawks, crows, ravens, opossums, turkeys, coyotes, black bear…on any given day it is not unusual to see several of these “wild” animals. I don’t consider them wild. They are living their best lives, doing what they do, living in harmony with the natural ecosystem, contributing to its continuity.
The wild beings that I most fear are the maga maniacs who live down the road, and who would like to see me banished from their world for being different or other. Or the ice agents lurking in the shadows scoping out their next victims. Do I see wild animals? Every time I venture away from home.
We could learn from the natural world how to coexist with each other. Hatred and cruelty is a choice just as kindness and compassion is.
much love, peace, and glimmers to you. Stay safe my friends.

I can’t possibly leave you without a glimmer…there were a few. But this is one of my favorites. I didn’t happen to get a photo today, but I was looking back through my photos and remembered capturing this sweet baby. She visits me every day.
like mercury colliding...
