“Tuscan Sunset” by Marjorie Rand
heart made of Italian sun
bearing sadness of ages
burnt umber memories
work to dilute and subdue
its emotional light
the old radiant gold
of an ambient peasantry
given a somber new cast
beating slower and softer
worn to low burnish by
remnants of time dipped in
ancestral ashes of change
ashes laid down in layers
by weakening flames
of this elderly fire
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be
