Spring begins her show
Warm light opens, prys
Every bud awakens
Hello." -CA67-

"Slowly she opens
Her insides she reveals
Tumultuous her oceans
When she tries to conceal
Her colors astounding
Too insecure to display
With heart pounding
Upon vulnerability pray." -CA67-

"In creeps the mist
The moist tendrils slip
As they sway to and fro
Crawling for places to grow, to spread their wet
As you fret taking each slippery step." -CA67-

"Turn back toward winter
Give into its cold
Its touch illicits a whimper
Even the young feel old
Turn back toward December
Surrender to its icy chill
Every fracture remember
Shattered is its thrill." -CA67-

And feared I missed
Reaching for truth I stumbled as you fumbled out of youth
Together we tumbled." -CA67-

A shadow of herself
With nowhere to stand
Neglected upon life's shelf
She fell, she tumbled
Into the forest she stumbled free, finally." -CA67-

"This morning's Moon had me wondering about the day
What direction would it take, the price & who would pay?
Through the trees I caught a glimpse and turned away
Of the devil & his imps
And all they're willing to betray to entrenche their stay." -CA67-

The cold ground seeps a moisture like quicksand
The air seems to sink all the while hold still
Dew drops collect upon my bedroom's windowsill." -CA67-

Too often taken for granted, the emptiness did grow
Hollow is the heart and cold is the ground
Forever apart, nature unbound." -CA67-

One Hour of Warmth In a city washed in gray, one forbidden hour of candlelight and human touch keeps a broken man from disappearing into the rain.

The creek fills and will soon breach the side
Rain upon frozen ground has no place to go
As the puddles and pools continue to grow." -CA67-

As clouds drift the wish to talk
Too many, too long goodbyes
Names forgotten and details blurred
Every step toward could not hold back
Or deter." -CA67-

Flour Tortillas, Suspect Timing I picked an interesting time to make flour tortillas to eat for Sunday.

A short break from the madness, brought to you by my desire to never stop writing....about anything.

Somewhere between life and death, I wish to talk
To you, to ask you how you are
