Whispers on the Window’s Face

Morning rain, a gentle grace,Whispers on the window’s face,Washing shadows of the night,Bringing forth the softest light.

Fresh beginnings, clear and bright,Beneath the sky, so pure, so light,In the morning rain’s embrace,We find a simple, …

Fluttering On By

No indications of society or civilization within sight. The musical sounds of birds and squirrels, the chipmunks hustling and bustling all around me. The little snake seemingly smiles as I flutter on by and say a quick hi, offer a smile, and wish him a good day. The almost whipping winds from the lake inspiring …

Can’t You Smell That Smell?

The last few mornings when I’ve awoken and stepped outside There’s been a fairly strong aroma. Not overwhelmingly strong, but definitely impossible to miss. Taking a few slow deep breaths, I know without a doubt what this familiar aroma is, and a happy peaceful smile makes its way across my face…
