• Brave Bird ~ Blue Monday ~ Image

  BRAVE BIRD Hear my faint and tender pleas… Gently carried upon the breeze… I grow cold and the world grows dark… I can find no sparrows, finches or larks… The trees give me no shelter, no haven to rest… I search endless hours to find a warm nest… The first to arrive, I am brave, yes I know… But this little robin, doesn’t like the snow! (another work from the young Muse, age 12) Seen here 2009 Submitted as participation [...]

• ~A Bit of Home~

  The little parlor in The Painted Nest, is waiting… she lingers between fall and winter. Thanksgiving will find her adorned in deep rust reds. Her memory table drawer will be redone… with new treasures of family heritage. In this old room, new memories will be made. New pillows will adorn her feather sofa. Little hearts filled with expectation will giggle and shout. I love the word “home”, don’t you? Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

• ~I Dream~

  I dream…yes, I dream of sounds; fish splashing, birds chirping, darting to and fro…I dream of the lake…the sound of our boat churning…the grandchildren’s laughter as they swim…All those lovely sounds. Then, I dream of scents. The lush aromas of lovely gardens that have my mark…of raw wood that has aged for decades…of rusty metal that sizzles in the summer sun. I dream of barbeques and fresh fruit…the scent of freshly mowed grass…of horse feed fresh from the silo. The [...]

• ~Yearn For The Urn~

  Weathered? yes. Worn? yes. Forgotten? never. A faded whiteness, almost gray… Called out to me… Across the market way… I rushed to touch… The grainy sides… The cool concrete… Caused my pulse to rise… Its hefty weight… Of giant mass… Would find a home… It would be mine at last… Muse 2010 There are few things as thrilling, as spying a used treasure and being able to  bring it home…I think this urn has a new life in its future, perhaps a [...]
