her promise


I talk of saxifrage, the flower that breaks the rocks, and she is eager to know more. . .
'Be you, be a rose!' - I tell her, it takes as much to grow through your thorns.

faint fragrance


through the morning mist 
the faint fragrance of roses 
from within the leaves 
of yesterdays,


how far have we come, 
how much have we lost 
on the way?

skeins of rain


Each new day brings its own story. . .Into each life some rain must fall ~

old dreams


Ah, to brush up childhood dreams. . .

day upon day


day upon day
a new year quietly unfolds,
surprisingly, there is 
nothing to resolve


just a few words seeking home. . .
I hold them like my own
