Fireflies
A wicked wind is blowing
Fireflies are dancing
as if they don’t care
Their green light flashing
showing off, just as we do
from time to time
I will keep my light flashing
keep dancing until the end…

Smoke @ Mirrors… #Poetry
Smoke @ mirrors
I found Aladdin’s lamp today
I rubbed until my hand was sore
No genie did I find
Why do these stories haunt the mind
to think there is magic we can find
when all is nowt but puff and smoke…

#Small Bites ~ Broken
Broken
Have you ever had one of those days
when you feel as though you are made of glass?
I am having one today.
I can feel small pieces slipping away as I walk
I am broken, disappearing slowly
I can almost see the pieces glistening behind me
like a trail of breadcrumbs.
Will someone follow and put me together again?

Fortune Change
I met a lady at the fair
Let me tell your fortune, said she
I smiled and kept on walking
She stopped my steps with this,
“You have one number wrong on your ticket.”
I paid with silver,
she told me then, “turn the four into a five
to see your fortune thrive.”
With this, my bank account did swell…

Storm Cloud
Lightning struck through a dark cloud
like a bright smile
The wind howling like a beast in torment
My window shutter slamming
to the beat of my heart
Would my house remain standing
Or would I end up in Oz,
standing on the yellow brick road?

Escape
You cannot escape the beast inside your head
Even when you think it’s dead
He whispers seeds of doubt, of discontent
Until your light is finally spent
You fight the beast inside your head…

A Good Day
I need a tall shot of yesterday
it was like a fine red wine,
kissed by the sun…

Changes
Each time a child is born
there is a new ripple in time.
An old soul has re-entered the Universe.
Changes are afoot…

Time
The moon shines to summer nights
the world turns in the blink of an eye
your life inside an hourglass
that only you control…

You
The book of you is not complete
Pick up your magic marker.
Write that fairy-tale ending but
don’t forget the story in between…
