Whatever Our Size

We cast a shadow

or shine a light.

No matter how small 

we do make a difference.

The Power Of You

Prompt from Sunday's Whirligig

A Dozen Words For Writer's

When the sorrow drains you

more than you can bear

tug on those happiness jeans

and leave behind despair

Greet the day 

with swagger

a mysterious shining 

from with in

There is a miracle

we call belief and dreams

that save us over again

trade darkness for Son-beams

Lift not your wrists

except for expulsion

of no's and can not do's

reach deep with in yourself

FIND THE POWER OF YOU!

Like Moths...

For Magpie Tales

Each one of us

Approach the light

In a myriad of ways

Face on

Side ways

Open armed

Or closed

From the back

From the front

On and on we go

We try

Again and again

Thanks to God

And Tesla

Life and light are not 

Open flames

We continually 

Scorch and escape

Again

And again

Not unlike the moth

We are drawn

To the flame

We test the fiery waters

Of life

And sometimes

We refrain

From repeating mistakes

That delivered us

Too closely to the flame

Sounds and Light

The west end of the valley
Stays light when all goes dark
No houses anywhere close
The dogs begin to bark.

Hubby laughs and says,
"You watch too many alien shows!"
But he doesn't hear the mountains talk
Or watch the way the dogs go.

It's not their game bark
They do not "bay" a trail
The dogs face the southwest
Bark and tuck their tails.

If my farm pack could only talk
To tell me what they hear
I could smile at Hubby and say
"It ain't no blooming deer!"

The Lights Of My Days...

Light snow,

snowy sunrise,

waning moon,

foggy morning light,

morning sun

half moon,

moon waning more,

but like Motel Six,

the best light was left on for me.
