Can’t sleep

Is it the green tea
or the excitement of new
possibilities?

Scarred

The third degree burns,
generated by love that
intense, never heal.

Balance

Juggling emotions,
we catch happiness with one hand,
sadness the other.

Garage sale

Drive two hours to help
two elderly parents sort
their life, then price it.

Reach

You are only as
good as you trust yourself to
be. Therefore, trust more.

Ever after

When your wish comes true
you must ask yourself – can you
survive happily?

Possibility

What we wish for shines
brightest when out of reach. Once
grasped, its luster dims.

7 a.m.

Morning sunshine. First
rays awaken the front lawn
to glittering frost.

Revealing

Humidity, haze
recede. Distant hills emerge
honed sharp by cool rains.
