storm

holding on.
holding on..
holding on...

  hold on
the storm's not over yet
you have to hold on to faith
that it won't last forever
  hold on

leftovers

Breathe
Slow 
that thumping heartbeat
Release 
those squeezed shut fists
Bestill
my raging anger.
Breathe...

let Go
the Child is found 
but,
an unforgiving Look
and Sullen silence
equal Groceries abandoned
at the store today
Let go...

Breathe
let go
and live this mantra...

internal peace op-
timistic understanding
and mother's moments

This too shall pass...


I guess
that's why Moms freeze leftovers -
for this tomorrow...

love

Love
so sweet 
as it fills a heart
overflows  a  life
yet always finds room 
for yet another moment
to cherish anew
amour

touch

a slip of blanket
over fairy dust skin 
covers yesterday's bones
memories
and how your hand felt in mine
before time
stole youth
and left only 
your thin fingers 
curled around my wrist
so happy to have human touch again
~



Hmm, if I recall correctly Stranger & Me have a little MFM alphabet game going on and are around about the letter "T". Well, that makes this poem fit then, I believe. I give you "touch" inspired by a visit to my Grandmother's.

Snow Day

Maple Syrup Love
Snow
bringer of sloppy roads
cheering children
and 
a Canadian breakfast 
like no other

Doesn't bother me none






I slip on snow pants
Grab the shovel
for the snow removal
and start slogging
for my daily Canuck-style exercises

Don't feel bad for me though
After a brief respite
in a snow bank
I dug back in 
to create a cozy cave
Big enough for 2 lovelies
or one big kid
intent 
on enjoying the best
that Canadian winter
has to offer
