Home
If I could go back home, if I could go back home
If I’d never left, I’d never have known
We all dream of leaving, but wind up in the end
Spending all our time trying to get back home again
from the song, Home Again by Bernie Taupin and Elton John from the album The Diving Board, 2013

Drawing Near
“Christmas time is here
We’ll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year…”
from the song, Christmas Time is Here by Vince Guaraldi, 1965
Your Smell
bring your smell
straight into my senses
and deep into my soul
Fractured
there are times when thoughts
are like empty stained glass panes–
fractured and transparent
Flashback
open fields
crimson leaves
fog on the horizon
velvet holiday hearts
running hand in hand
the smell of wet earth
morning mist
red holly berries
still and quiet deer
