Sonnet

The Shadows of Whispering Pines. Content Warning.
In the heart of the ancient forest, where the shadows whispered secrets and the pines murmured tales of old, lay the enigmatic Whispering Pines—a realm of mystery and darkness shrouded in the embrace of nature. Its tangled undergrowth and looming trees bore witness to centuries of forgotten whispers and unseen forces that danced among the shadows.

Arrows
How is it that your arrows pierce the dove? When such a thing is deemed detestable. When stars are shining, you see flames above

Amend
Have you become unraveled by a thing? So easily distressed by whetted words, When two can heal as though on feathered wings

Multi-colored tapestry
People say that variety is the spice of life, and they would be right. Life has much to offer, in ranges and shades. The food we eat, clothes we wear, books we read and even the pets we keep all have types and variations. Each dish we partake of and little dog we welcome into our home has unique traits that separate it from everything else in the world.

I was walking by the river red Of tears and blood it was made The hauntings of ghosts’ past-dead long ago The imprint of the demagogue never fades.

Sunlight bleeds through the pines There’s a bear on the path before me A strange man approaches from the rear I run towards the bear

A Pillar of Salt
Sturdy pillars. Salt of the Earth. Being either is a tall order as one responds to dicey situations when emotions run high.

Be where your feet are
Be where your feet are We often find ourselves either guilt-tripping in the past or ruminating about the future. The present is all that we have in our hands yet we tend to often forget the importance of living in the moment. In a world that constantly holds our attention, it becomes difficult for us to catch a moment of what our primary requirements are in the present, to catch a glimpse of what it is that we truly want for ourselves. Everything that you have ever dreamed of, wanted and will ever need, all of it stems from the present moment.

Early Morning at My House
Looking out my window to the tall trees No squirrels or birds at the bird feeder The green grass, the field, the rain and the bees
