day 367

And a silly, deadly serious pi sequence poem…


poke the bear
.
and
you’ll be sorry
bears
have left the woodlands
they are roaming the neighborhoods now
hungry…
no one is safe…no one
the gnome department
has declared
do not poke the bears
they possess free reign to pillage,
to terrorize the citizenry

by order of the great pig,
commander in thief, grand pooh-bah
maga-phants
declare
allegiance

A crazy day…so many things hitting the fan inour world. How I love a red sunset to help me wind down.

Much love, peace, and dusky glimmers to you! It’s getting a bit messy in the light of day. I call it the storm before the calm. Be kind and remember to breathe. ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨


Day 366 – a glimmer

Couldn’t let this day end without sharing a glimmer or two.

These guys came to wish me a good morning. And the afternoon sun was a beauty.

Much love, peace and glimmers to you. I might muster up a poem for you tomorrow. Breathe…be kind…and stay safe!

but oh, how faithful they are
as faithful as dawn

This evening’s Glimmer!

glowing red at dusk
cast fair dawns

(Lune poem - syllable count: 3/5/3)

As I was wrapping up my day job I noticed that the trees outside my eastern-facing window were a lovely warm color. This usually means another spectacular sunset! Needless to say, as soon as I shut down my computer I grabbed my phone and headed outside to capture a photo of the western horizon. In that moment nothing mattered but the sky, how beautiful it was, and breathing. I realized that I did not do a good job of breathing through the day, sidelined by this stressor or that.

Skies like this are fleeting. It only takes a few minutes for the sun to slip lower on the horizon and the peak sunset display to fade. Tonight was a good night. I didn’t miss it. I needed to lose myself in its splendor. And to remember that silly rhyme…”red sky at night, sailor’s delight…” It was like the universe was saying to me, though the dark night is coming, so is the dawn, clear and bright!” I needed that.

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!


day 338

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

~kat

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.

Sun-Kissed Blue Ridge Mountains at Dawn ~ kat 2025
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
