Along Your Merry Way

In the deepest darkest depths of night When all your thoughts shriek danger, fright When evil looms within your sight Dawn will come When wicked winter winds into your marrow bite When storm-dark clouds bring sleet and snow and ice And every day you live feels black as night Spring will come When every urge […]

Catching Up

To any who have wondered where I’ve been of late online (I hope there will be one or two) perhaps the following verse will explain. I have been working on other writings, though still trying to edit them into my best form. I’ve also spent some time painting digitally, while I wait for a surgically […]

Light, A Distant Vista

Responsible, preoccupied, needs, daily duties, urges to create Atlas beneath my half sky inventing my truth in beauty before I’m late Days fast-paced, so full of shoulds and musts to meet and answer When so few seek either truth or beauty; they don’t pay the financier Is shielding the candle flame from darkness worth the […]

TOO LATE CONSIDERED?

Home Complex confusing and contentious conversations may prevail When sundry family members to the wide world do disperse Traveling from home-based roots, trekking far beyond the pale Lessons learned young may not survive from cradle to hearse Or lessons taught are planted deep, rooting values far too well When elders change their diet, cultivating growth, […]

Ponder Rosa – My not so secret thoughts

My thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to the victims and families and the bombing at the Boston Marathon and all of those killed or injured in our recent wars, mass shootings, terrorist attacks and any other human-made disasters, murders, mayhem and the insanity that grows in the world daily. I would willingly take the […]
