happenings today

it begins to melt...

mr. brown eyes through the fence slat...

destruction across the street

and a house full of memories collapses in a pile of dust and debris

this morning's sunrise

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

more snow

he's getting huge!

it started snowing again this afternoon. nalu loves it!

winter

even though winter time seems bare and colorless at times,

bare branches against blue sky never ceases to take my breath away

beauty lies here

raw emotion...

it isn't pretty...

...............

tears spill from my tired eyes

tracing lines on my grief-stricken face.

disbelieving how much my heart hurts

these eyes tell the sadness of my story.

warming up

snow melts into slush

my heart does the same.

heavy with grief

overwhelmed by life and time

soon spring will come

random thoughts and photos

cotton candy colored sky

distracts me from reality

for a moment i feel light and free

but then the weight of the world

sits back on my shoulders

a sigh escapes my lips

sunshine streaks palm tree littered sky

false sense of warmth in the cold

one step in either direction

and the chill creeps up my body,

engulfing each cell

i am shivering once again

it's all a beautiful blur

wishes kept in jars locked tight

one day it will open

and the world will be mine
