Excerpts from Being Here:
Shortcut skirting the truth she took a path through the woods tripping over knobby roots the musky smell of wet leaves filling her head with the whimsy of childhood games fantasy worlds built in apricot trees and the tall grasses of meadows the woods hid her thoughts kept her utterances secret among the maples and pines she struck an oath to never fear life |
I listen to the darkness as it makes its trek from East to West spilling constellations from its pockets in its haste. The creatures of the night follow in its footsteps chirping from the tall grasses it brushed by. They are just waking, happy to assume their nocturnal duties, even as I close the book on mine.
# # # Morning Blades of grass each bejeweled with beads of morning dew a carpet of luminescence as far as the eye can see. This is my gift for rising with the summer sun. |
