A new life part 1
Category: Writing and Poetry
A New life
When my Mother finally decided to get rid of my Father for good it was in the summer and school was out. I think my Mother had planned on throwing everything we had away and starting over from scratch, but me always hanging out by the dumpster hoping that someone's trash would be my treasure had a hard time parting with our Christmas ornaments and wall decorations. The paint by number duo which my parents had once worked on so lovingly together now lay in a heap of garbage. As she kept throwing things out I kept trying to smuggle things back in. She would tell me over and over that "We Can't keep everything".

Christmas time at Disneyland
Current mood:  happy
Category: Writing and Poetry
The air held a definitive nip to it, something we were unused too coming from the desert. All above us lights twinkled gaily, spreading cheer and warmth. Christmas time at Disneyland, could it get any better. Not really for a ten year old, this was paradise. Once a year we went on vacation to Disneyland and it made up for the rest of the year. I looked up and my breath came out in white puffs like smoke. Holding my sweatshirt as close to me as I could I moved slightly back and forth in an effort to stay warm. I could see the faces of the family I cherished and the whole night radiated love. This was my family and the night a blessing etched in my mind to withstand countless days of draught. Each minute more precious than the next so that it could last a lifetime.

Christmas Eve
Category: Writing and Poetry
I was embraced by a warm towel as stood before the Christmas tree. Fresh out of the bath so that my eyelashes were still spiky, it gave the tree a fluid glow as I stood with water pouring down my eyes. I waited there looking at all the presents gathered round in the skirt of the tree and I heard my Mother say just one gift. Standing there quite naked only adorned by a towel I was given a square box to unwrap. Excitedly I tore at the bow, pulling on the package stuffed inside the ribbon and behold, a warm winter's robe for Christmas eve. Not exactly exciting but under the circumstances highly appropriate. I spent the remainder of the night nagging to open another gift and my Sister growing tired of the nagging finally relented and gave me her gift to unwrap. It was a doll almost as tall as I was and the doll was actually able to take a step with me as I walked. I sat there in the glow of my pink satin bathrobe and held my new doll by my side. My Mother said we looked like twins with our white blond locks and pink outfits, and I wondered if I could trick my Mother by putting my twin to bed and then somehow let me stay up. Perhaps I could hide behind the couch and no one would see me. I was after all only five.

acceptance
Current mood:  awake
Category: Writing and Poetry
Somber reflections
quietly pondering
what would haves
and should haves.
Leaving spaces
between thoughts
and pondering
of better days
now left in slumber.
Twilight fades,
reality comes into play
and woes surface.
Oh for it to be undone,
but no undoing comes,
acceptance settles in
and time begins to fade.

The Well
Current mood: awake
Category: Writing and Poetry
Silent spring
draw upon the well
beneath my feet.
Surrounded in healing
spiritual fulfillment,
and touched by grace.
Take me in your hands
and mold me like clay
so that I might inspire
all that I could ever be.
Made by design,
incomparable
whole and well
living inspiration,
human daughter divine.

while I ache
Current mood:  peaceful
Category: Writing and Poetry
Days fly by,
one slides into the next
as the season changes,
while I ache
in anticipation
of the road ahead.
Time lapses
and I am behind
this worldly game.
Caught up in
daily activities
as life passes
I ponder tomorrow
and feel
it's uncertainty,
yet I go on
into the verge
of obscurity
and I survive.

hushed by silence
Current mood:  determined
Category: Writing and Poetry
Time collapses in upon itself,
world within world
void upon void,
and I am hushed
by the silence,
the music of the spheres
mastery of math
and secret equations.
I am hidden behind your door
looking outward,
looking in,
seeking, wanting, finding.
Exuberant haunted child,
wayward daughter,
defying ignorance,
displaying innocence,
for all to see..

Hope and renewal
Current mood: blessed
Category: Writing and Poetry
Hope returns,
it lightens the day,
bringing rays of promise,
as the light comes in.
It chases all the shadows away.
A new path is forming,
unexpected it arises
and life takes on a new form.
Soon all will be different
and I will be reborn.

small friends
Current mood:  contemplative
Category: Writing and Poetry
Morning begins.
Impatient footprints
gather around me
as the sun smiles
upon my home.
Small friends
with pink noses
and pink tongues,
waiting for me,
keeper of the can opener,
bringer of fresh water,
and Mother of fresh food.
