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!

Some random thoughts as I catch up on the past two days
day 45 ~ and we wait
blackout
the prospect of one more night
of bitter cold, of darkness, of death
our tropical fish succumbing one by one
it’s an unbearable burden
my best attempts to sustain us
woefully inadequate but I keep fighting
the warm-blooded souls under our roof
huddled, hanging on to the promise
that the services we depend upon
will be restored before day’s end
heartened by activity, tree removal
and utility trucks, in the neighborhood
trust slipping away by the hours
as darkness once again swallows the light
but I digress…
is this what it will be like
In coming years as safety nets
are eliminated, as our country crumbles
as the loyalists of the king are rewarded
and those of us opposed or other are
excluded to fend for ourselves…
must prepare, must be better prepared
huddled under layers of clothes and
blankets I close my eyes in hope
that at least this night the light
will break through, that power will
be restored, that we will be safe again
and then
a sputter, the hum of electronics, the
computer screens flash on, the printer
reboots and the heat growls to a start
i lay motionless, while the grid surges
wondering if it is temporary or real
…waiting…wondering…waiting
hoping…as the room becomes warmer
a sigh, a full breath of relief … such relief
short lived, as my mind rudely intrudes must be better prepared…must prepare

An update. Just lost a few tetras…the other fish held on!
day 46~affirmations
repeat after me…
I’m still here
I matter
I have value
I am worthy
I am brave
I am a survivor
I deserve respect
I deserve to be happy
I deserve to be free
I am smart
I am compassionate
I am kind
I am light
I am love
and yes I am here…I AM SO HERE!
Peace, love, and glimmers of affirmation to you, and remember, you are a magnificent soul.

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.

fresh snow at dawn
beautiful bright blanket
of white…the world
resting in quiet peace
my soul’s deep longing
~kat
Peace, Love, and Quiet Glimmers to You! ✨❄️✨
to do or not to do
much ado to do
and a list too long to count
honey do’s are due

Feeling silly today. I’m not sure what or why. There seems to be plenty of lunacy tonight. There is snow on the way on the eve of the full snow moon. Serendipitous I say. ❄️😊❄️ And it would seem Mother Nature is making good on her agreement with Punxsutawney Phil to drag winter out another 6 weeks…whatever. I’ve got things to do or not.
Peace, Love, and Glimmers to you!
