where creative minds can interact
I step into the night, fleeing what I cannot see
Carrying candle lit to light my darkened way
Heart beating words of hope
That your light will pull me like
The moth
I pray…

I have given a lot of thought to some things lately and I want to share the mutterings of my mind with you.
For so long, I went around saying that love can be cruel, full of heartache and sorrow. I now view this differently. It is not love itself that causes heartache, that causes one to hurt. What causes the pain is the absence of love. Love itself has the power to help, to heal, to change hearts for the better. When we lack love, when we’re not loved in return, this is when the…

Some say it's just a four letter word
Overused and pretty much meaningless
Truth is many do say it absentmindedly
Not giving thought to what it really means
Many have been hurt over time
Due to hearing it when it wasn't true
Leaving hearts bitter and skeptical
How much could the word mean if it's so easily used?
When true and pure
Love has powers many haven't seen
Too many hearts are locked…

A jaded heart
One that's been torn apart
Too many times to count
For the tears shed, there's no known amount
A wall built sky high
To keep out every lie
Love is people's foolish notions
Why bother going through the motions
You meet someone
They promise you the stars, the moon, the sun
Things seem to go well for awhile
They even convince you to walk down the aisle
Then with a mighty…

I shocked myself when I read the date on my last blog post in my Blogger Blog: Plants, Paint, Glue, and Jigsaws; February 2012! Whoa! 11 months slipped by without me writing one sentence for my blog. In my defense to myself about myself I was not slacking off and snoozing overtime! The months flew by unnoticed as I drew and burned…

Looking ahead
The light is brilliant
My future is bright
Brighter than it's been in a long time
Hope is alive in my heart
One step in front of the other
Doing what I can each day
To accomplish my goals
Dreaming big
Ready to make those dreams come true
Shards of an old life try to cut me
Slice my chest wide open
But their once sharp edges
Have grown soft
They feel feathery and…

One moment of 2012 that I will cherish and keep in my heart
Christmas with my son after missing five Christmas' apart.
One moment of 2012 I would like to forget
December 14th, Sandy Hook Elementary, a day of eternal regret.
Funny thing about memories of the heart
Some bring smiles while others hurt like a flaming dart.
As time and years pass by
Each is filled with reasons to laugh and cry.
Peace and love wished by us all
Some…

I have always been fascinated by creative people. Are some folks just born creative? Is it an inherited trait? Can we learn to be creative? Does it really come down to right brain versus left brain? I have read extensively, about the creative mind… about creative people… I still do not understand the how and why of it all. …

Chestnut curls and a cute button nose
Just like hers
Brilliant hazel eyes and dimples
Just like yours
I can hear her angelic voice
She puts her tiny hand in mine
Smiles and my heart melts
"Grandma", she squeals in delight
There's nothing I wouldn't do for her
Just as I feel the same about you
She sits in my lap
And I read her her favorite story
I remember when you were this…

When I was little
You were so strong
So capable of doing anything
How I admired you
I remember our trips to the store
The candy you'd buy me if I was good
The garage sales and trips to the library
So many books, scattered throughout the house
I loved talking to you
And laying by you
Watching PBS or perhaps Murder She Wrote
Listening to your laughter
You have always been full of…

Sometimes I look at my stomach
I see the marks left upon it
Ten years they've been there now
Some think they're hideous
Even I have thought so a time or two
I remember a time before they were there
The smooth skin, being a size one
No real sense of resposibility
Could come and go as I pleased
How life has changed
Over the years
I have come to cherish these marks
Each one symbolizes the love…

Staring through the hourglass of time
Looking at the past
No longer wishing to change things
Accepting what was
Both the good and the bad
Once upon a time
I wished I could rewrite my past
Change things that I did
Take back things I'd said
Not know some that I had
What has been written
Can not be taken back
The ink has dried
The chapters are closed
There's just no going…
