the rain has eased now
wind is still going so strong
the fresh air feels crystal clear
strong breeze has really blown through
clearing out old, bringing new | |

here, this house has chosen me
nothing is hidden
wearing her heart on her sleeve
open to the winds of change
we seem to be safe here, this is not much different then my adopted lands usual weather | |

Sirius rises with Sun
forever bright in Night's sky | |

glinting below wispy cloud | |

a dandelion
paperweight form, frozen there
a piece of the earth
giving birth to peace within
amidst the mess on the desk | |

summersaulting in thin air
storm winds now gentle breezes

Evening sky wrapped in velvet
Cassiopeia
Reflected on still water
Owl-light merging into dawn | |

Posted: 9/9/2008 11:20:42 AM | ^wow!
started out sunny
by mid-day clouds had appeared
toned down the bright light
and a wind came from nowhere
what is stirring in the air? | |
|

Posted: 9/9/2008 3:25:35 PM | I think I try this
Words in sevens and in fives
How am I doing
From nowhere come all the words
Its still kind of hard to do | |

Posted: 9/9/2008 4:52:58 PM | The changing friendships
Always seem to change with time
At times very close
Other times very distant
Is it me or is it them?
Yep... lately all my friendships are changing... It seems that way to me anyway...
Nothing major happened, just... life being life I guess... Anyway... just wondering if others have experienced this... | |

perhaps due to energy
moving and shifting
contracting and expanding
pulled in different directions | |
