storm
a symphony of black
heaving madness
drives the sky from
blue to bitter, raining
a sea of life
on our heads

Something different this week. Instead of creating a digital photo creation for the poetry that emerges from the magnets, I’m letting you in on the creative process, my dance with the muse, so to speak. What do you think? Do you like seeing the words that didn’t make the cut? I find them quite compelling…
beneath the forest
green every living
thing is wild and
free though they
are deeply rooted
in stone
…
the best we can
hope for in life
is love and peace,
laughter and luck…
a bit of chocolate
always helps
…
though you are crushed
by life’s storms be
not bitter for it is
after the rain that
a garden smells
her sweetest
…
coffee breath kisses
warm lips, moist
with hints of
salt and caramel
devouring me slowly
my heart’s desire…
mornings like this
…
Happy Saturday!

spinner,
abandoner,
your lattice is fading
it longs for your touch…do you care?

I watch the ivy slipping her green tentacles between bricks, crumbling mortar. And water, brackish or raging white caps, it doesn’t matter. She slowly sucks the shore into the sea and hollows tunnels through massive boulders with a kiss.
We lay pavements, build foundations and walls, and erect iron behemoths to the sky in our attempt to mute her, to contain her. Nature always finds a way to reclaim what is hers. What has always been hers.
Like the remnants of civilizations past sandwiched between layers of limestone and ore, we too are destined to return, ashes to dust.
