poetry, fiction, nature, culture, compassion, love
In the spaces between snowflakes, winter’s breath unfolded,
reminding us of prayers breathed,
from our wilder moments,
when we actually did
have some faith,
when snow covered mountains
held us,
and God spoke healing,
in the whispers
of the wind.

Our memories of spring My Love, will see us through
even these cold rains.
The light in your eyes draws me closer,
remember the cherry blossums?
I love the sunlight in your hair,
the smell of you
the sweetness of lavender……
and to be honest
even after all these years,
I’m still stunned by you…..
I can’t help but to kiss your face
while having visions
of flowers,
coming alive again….

Note: My wife and I have been married a very long time. Part of our success is knowing, the importance of romance.
I’ll fix you some oatmeal My Love, would you like raisins
and cinnamon?
Tea, chocolate
and some blankets on the couch,
and I’ll read you
some new poetry…..

Rivers run deep within the poet’s heart
reaching out,
reaching in
writing down,
the wordflow unseen.

Well, if you didn’t see my biggest blogging secret, it wasn’t really a secret, but it was to invest in other bloggers!
Spend time at other sites that interest you. So, now for my second biggest secret! Well it’s not really a secret either!
I try to bring hope and encouragement with much of my work. Let’s face it, we all need encouragement sometimes!
So I use terms such as “wordflow”, “spirit” etc. as a way of reflecting a positive life force,
and maybe even some healing. Poetry infused with nature can also bring healing.
I want my blog to be a positive place making the world a little more beautiful.
Art, and writing, and photography can do that! So now you know my 2 biggest blogging secrets.
I wish you all peace!
P.S. I think I’ve discovered a good writing plan/schedule. And sometimes you will see some adventurous fiction!

When hope is our truth, we focus on our victories
instead of despair,
lifted
by our spirit wings.

When she awoke he was already outside braving the eternal blizzard, known as the Forbidden Winter.
She began preparing to leave again, saddling her horse, checking the pack animals……
she also connected to his mind, saying…..“I’m here!” He grumbled something inaudible and said he wondered where she was….
she smiled to herself. She knew they would survive, this and many other battles.
Fighting terrible beasts known as Slashers and their demonic blades, angry Behemoths, and ti – no…..not tigers. He had the Gift of Tigers.
They would protect him and help him, sensing the gift and his spirit.
And they would never harm her, now that they shared the strength of his purple light.
After she checked her weapons, she mounted, and rode in his direction…..
“Do you sense the tiger yet?” she asked.
“Yes, are you sure about this?……” “Yes, just follow her.” “Her?” “Yes.”
He did so without fear, as if the tiger was a friend, which to him was amazing……the tiger led him through the blinding snow.
Several hours of high winds later, he was slowing down. The wind had drained his strength. The tiger stopped when he did, looking back.
Tana gave him some incentives, visions of herself……she actually teased him, with her eyes at first.
Then her mouth, so sensual and even the tatoo on her chest. It worked. He was able to stay awake and press forward.
He yelled, “You are in so much trouble when we finally meet!”
She chuckled, and encouraged him again with her eyes……
The End.
