We, the pupils, stare at the veil,Standing still, eyes wide and frail.We yearn to learn, to grow and thrive,To see and feel, to be alive. Our teacher stands, a silent guide,Through the veil, she sees inside.Our hearts, our minds, our deepest fears,Our hopes, our dreams, our joyful tears. She whispers softly, “Come with me,”And leads us through the veil to see.A world of wonder, filled with light,A place where we can shine so bright. In this world, we grow and […]
Our mouths are caves with secrets, Teeth and bones that we forget.Until the ache, the need, the urgency,When we must seek the surgeon’s hands. I remember the office park,Wind whistling through the parking lot.The low hum of machinery,The little room where I lay down. The surgeon gave me laughing gasAnd with it came a lullaby.A song of beeps and heart monitorsThat lulled me into slumber deep. When I woke, the team still worked,Their hurried motions spoke of time.And so they […]
In the sultry upper piedmont, when summer sings, I wake up slow, with no alarm bell’s ding. Brewing coffee with milk, creamy and sweet, I sit and plan the day, with lists of lists so neat. Checking in with pairs of little ones, their curious days, Navigating their friends, in fun and games they play. Stocking the pantry, with enough to last, I hop in my car, blasting music fast. My workout awaits, then comes the errands so stout, Writing […]
In Vallejo’s tender grasp, where dreams took flight,In the enchanting 90s, with pop culture’s light, A crush blossomed forth, as innocent as can be, A young girl’s heart, dancing in reverie. Back in the days when neon was hip, We rocked scrunchies and watched “Full House” flip, Middle school corridors, buzzing with cheer, In Vallejo’s embrace, magic was near. A crush like a daisy, delicate and pure, Like JT’s smile, so irresistibly sure. With Lisa Frank stickers and gel pens […]
In autumn’s lair, the world transforms,Pumpkins, ripe orange, the perfect form.Warm coffee, hazy sunshine, the perfect blend,Back to school, new beginnings, let’s not pretend. The leaves, fall colors, fire in the trees,They say nothing lasts forever, but oh, this, it seems.Brisk air, the day dwindles, the night creeps on,The world prepares, for winter’s croon. And as we curl, under cozy clothes,The world bustles, as December slows,For autumn is the bridge, the time between,Summer’s heat and winter’s gleam.
