What Crosses My Mind

  • Watching The Sunrise

    Simple really. Nothing complicated about watching its spectacular image rising over the horizon. Makes you wonder for a moment, just a thought, how small we really are, and how magical is the sunlight on a summer’s day. Watching the stars overnight and falling asleep in the sky, a peek of morning sunshine, lights up the…

  • Locked Doors and Open Windows

    I stood outside in the rain, let it wash over me, could feel the wetness run down my back, my clothes began damp then soaked as the tears fell further, stronger their struggle was my own. I could think about then and realize just how many years ago, and today still right with me, all…

  • God’s Grace

    Her waters calm, is a pleasant visit wonder the mystique below the surface. Gentle waves create comfort I admit serenity’s magical journey face. Sitting quiet in the chill arctic air letting my mind travel a solemn way. Only now such peace is captured, a fair mystery pouring a water today. Cloud cover breaks as sunlight…

  • Silence by a Fire

    The quiet room a place where thoughts come to life bouncing off walls and never settling in the same. Only the licks of flame, the cracks as birch lights up to offer a solace, a peace from the strain. I’m listening intent hoping some break in the silence of my calcified mind. I could stay…

  • Morning Sunlight

    If we allow ourselves a moment to engage in the beauty of morning, sunlight can radiate our mind and body. The leaves are turning watching the autumn descend upon our summer dreams. We will cycle toward the arctic, winter winds. Yet, stand in the sunlight for a moment, we might.

    In the gaze of candles illuminating the room, my children’s faces, held in time to behold. I was wondering about the day, the new year, watching flickering lights waiting for me to decide. I looked up from my coffee slow immediate steam swirls reminding me of beauty, the little things that turn our lives to…

  • Suddenly Settled

    He watched quiet a dog running safely sequestered in a dog park. ~ Look at the gentle sky outside his window. Sunlight crystal crossing snow, he does breathe. ~ Last night candles brought a peace an unanticipated trip into seclusion. ~ Stood inside a garrison of afterthought wondering what now. ~ An opportunity knocking take…

  • This Silence

    Feel the wind against the pane a song, a following a giving greeting in a storm. Then gone, it disappears, left in quiet taking in a gray day outside. A time to reflect let memory share a moment when all that matters lay before me, such is beauty when to breathe is another utterance of…

  • Something In The Fog

    In the quiet of morning a glance perchance some catharsis looming. We know the quiet in silence in chance something in a silent reckoning happening to each of us alone though there would be chance is only tone the manner a solitude beyond an awkward resonance with time and shadows forward acting upon this rhyme…

  • A Wandering Mind

    I wonder sometimes where it is I might go, if given the opportunity the freedom to walk away from everything mechanical in my mind. You see, there is a kind of volley of emotion we live by, we cannot forget or perhaps we wish we might be the one, whom always does need a reminder,…
