And I feel this empty place inside
So afraid, that I’ve lost my faith
Show me the way!
(A prayer that our illusions be washed away! God Bless! ~M)
Solitude of Night
solitude of night ~ dreams awake
in my mind ~ spirits dance
an invisible cloak ~ wraps around
promises await ~ mornings first light

Homesick
I wander, I run, I walk
Towards something that pulls me forward
I wonder, I see, I perceive
After the fall of dark over the land
The trails, the roads, the paths
Lay before me like an endless sea
Waves crash, winds blow, rain falls
My journey, my desires, my life
I venture, I search, I hope
Discovering the glory in the pain
A destiny, a promise, a dream
Moments are captured and stored in eternity
I feel, I cry, I laugh
I search for a place I have never been
I struggle, I fall, I rise
To journey forward despite the obstacles
I sit, I listen, I receive
I step outside my mind and feel the earth beneath my feet

Now I am off to ride!
A happy weekend to all my friends!
M is for Mom
Mom – Where do I start? Well let me explain, no, there is too much let me sum up. (Okay so I borrowed that one.) A rhyme for mom –
Dries your tears and Holds you near
Shields your face and Gives you grace
Bakes you cake and Helps you bake
Shows you how and Even spells cow
Say not that and Catches your cat
Helps you heal and Makes your meal
Dries your tears and Calms your fears
Holds your place and Pleads your case
Gives you hugs and Chases away bugs
Tucks you in and Cheers your wins
Laughs at jokes and Please don’t smoke
Most of all and She stands tall
As your Mom and She’s the bomb
Loves you always and In so very, very, very many and uncountable ways
Love you, Mom!

Spring Planting & First Harvest!
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. ~Marcus Tullius Cicero
A basketful!
The greenhouse!
Chocolate!
First lettuce!
