Cold rain~fierce storms
winter returned~cleverly hidden
beneath Spring's colorful cloak
April~fooled we've been
but in the end~Spring will win
Vinca knows~head held high
savoring rain's sweet kiss
sky blue on a gray day

And thus begins the sixteenth month of the journey
writing my way home ~one day at a time
spending mornings~cup of tea at hand
waiting for words to tumble free
such an important part of my day now
some mornings spend walking the garden
mindfully noticing~ finding that perfect shot
sometimes composing while on the road
seeing the same surroundings~yet not
everyday trips~more of an adventure now
~
There are times the image dictates the poem
or so it seems~other days words are just there
ready to share~still how I love the interaction
between written word and image~entwined
walking hand in hand~for this is the way
my creativity seems to work~combining
love of the visual with love of the written word
not a bad marriage of two disciplines it seems
they make a nice couple~pleasing to my eyes
sitting together on the page~happily side by side

Seeing the Light
~
I am a seeker~looking for light
to illuminate each passing day
light to erase the long dark shadows cast
by unsettling news worldwide~truths and rumors
absorbed day after day~relentless~pounding
politics gone wrong~corporate greed
murder~mayhem~climate change
cruelty toward the helpless~habitat destruction
ever growing list~too long~never ending
overwhelmingly hopeless at times
~
Yet there is hope~kindred spirits
speaking up~making a difference
kindling each other's flame in support
keeping the shadows at bay
caring~sharing~casting light into the dark
standing together~worldwide~across the miles
together we seek to illuminate the dark
all is not lost~hope still shines bright
collective conscience change is what it takes
can we make it in time~standing together
~
Awash in news and time line stories
often overwhelmed by the flood
clinging on to the light which connects many
finding beauty each day~looking for tranquility
because without hope~what do we have
but darkness so deep it will swallow us whole
they say that it's the dark and mean in this world
which enables us to see~not only our own blessings
but all that is still bright and beautiful in our world
all we can do is our personal best~making a difference
