Nurture & Feed Your Soul

Nurture and feed your soul
Each day
As it hungers
To grow strong
and soar
and it will.


This drawing was completed by me on May 16, 2010 and accompanies the poem to express the notion that all souls need constant fuel and nurturing to experience growth which causes evolution in the heart and mind.

Fragile: Handle With Care

People run when my lips speak the truth.
Running from the shame,
The burden of my youth.

So, I will walk awhile
Into the wilderness,
Ignore the pain inside.

Walk amongst the crowd
That clings to
Only what is allowed.

Stories told of happy times
To hide the pain
Behind classy rhymes,

Those that tell of
Sugar plums
Or ancient tales of love.

It is acceptable to dream
Of sweet and treasured
Souls that gleam.

Do not speak of the night
Where danger and demons
Fill us with fright.

Sunflower Fields Shall Reveal

Is it even real
Telling you only half of what I feel?
Holding back for your gain,
Burying the sadness and the pain.

Are we really friends
If I don't know where to begin?
Do you really care
That I am gasping for air?

I am standing in the shadows
Of those sunflowers in the meadow,
Dreaming that you will look for me there.
I am cold and lonely, lost and bare.

I am desperately searching my mind for a place
That isn't filled with longing or disgrace.
How did I get here in a flash,
If it was not built to last?

Why should it have to be discarded?
Only fools take the role of the broken hearted.
Why did you lead me to the sunflower fields
Only for the empty truth to be revealed?

Chester the Cat

Chester the Cat

Filled with grace
Your sweet, kitten face
Warmed my heart
Brought joy to my days

Your spirit strong
Life, full and long
As a kitten, you loved to play
You grew more loyal with each day

A faithful companion
Right up to the end
Always generous with affection
All you desired was attention

We shared so much love over the years
Memories will make smiles from the tears



Thank you to my remarkable kitty, Chester, for two decades of love and companionship! I am so fortunate that you chose me!!!
