I’ve spent the evening wrestling with senseless words…too many words…tonight’s simple haiku will have to do. At the very least I have managed to be present. That’s something. That’s a pretty big something.
Peace, love, and silent golden glimmers to you.
Shhhhhhh…..kat
a deer sighting
gentle visitors
emerge from the trees at dusk
grace before a storm

There is another s snow event heading our way. They name snow storms now you know. This one is named Kingston. He is carrying a ton of snow to our region. At least that’s the best guess of meteorologists.
The name Kingston is old English and means simply, “the king’s town”. And a thought occurred to me and made me smile. We don’t have a king here. Not here in these foothills…not in this state…not in this country. Not yet anyway. But right here, right now, I have visitors who happened by. Graceful, beautiful souls to remind me to go gently into this night. Come snow by dawn or not, Kingston is just passing through and spring is coming. Most surely, spring is in the wings.
Gentle peace, love and glimmers to you.

path to serenity
take a moment, remember to breathe
when life overwhelms you, calm your soul
embrace the path to serenity
immerse yourself in pure love and peace
when adversity comes, take control
take a moment, remember to breathe
release all fear and set worries free
you owe it to yourself you know
embrace the path to serenity
you know the way so don’t be deceived
your heart is where the light of truth glows
take a moment, remember to breathe
let the world wait, all the time you need
connect to source where all wisdom flows
take a moment, remember to breathe
embrace the path to serenity

It has become an obsession. The only way I can survive these uncertain times is through mindfulness and basically, simply, remembering to breathe. All any of us truly has assured is the present moment. It is available to me every moment. When I pause the noise in my head, focus on the moment and my breath, it is a calming reminder that I am okay in the right here and now. In fact I am so okay that the beauty around me, birdsong, all good things, my loved ones, the blessings that color this gift of life that I live, all these things have a moment to cover me in grace. Remember to breathe.
Peace, Love, and Glimmering Moments to you!

Today’s verse is brought to you by the “villanelle”. Read more about this form below!
Villanelle
When you’ve got an obsession or another intense fixation, write about it in a villanelle. The villanelle is a poetic form that originated in France, initially as a variation of pastoral poetry. Villanelles are specifically about obsessions and follow a strict form:
the song of spring
murmurs softly deep
beneath the earth where
roots and seeds rest
blanketed under winter’s
beautiful frosting

As we brace for another of winter’s last tantrums…his days are numbered and he knows it…I imagine the magnificent miracle of life rumbling just beneath my feet. Winter lasts for a season. spring is coming.
Peace, Love, and Frosted Glimmers to you! Spring will be here soon!

1-
born of magic
the breath of angels,
from stardust and poetry
to secret longing
the heart of a child
2-
people know no more
than they’re ready to believe
they’re special that way
3-
she had attitude
an impressive confidence
in her own coolness
and that’s a wrap

A trio of Magnetic Poetry poems. Night two of camping inside under layers of clothing and blankets. Tomorrow, they say, we can expect to regain the light.
Peace, Love, and Warm Glimmers to you! Stay safe and warm my friends.
