the rebirth of radiance
What do you see – Is it possible
Is it possible to explain love To someone who never loved before Using pen as a tool Is it possible ordinary words Describe how profound and infinite Love is To the fools that never loved before Words and love there is no place In their hearts A flame is powerful A way to erase the abstract feeling Only known to who truly feels it Is it possible …

Sunday musings – yellow and orange
These last two weeks have been hectic. Many deadlines at work and weekend travel with the kids. I didn’t have time to have my precious ‘me time’ and to join the writing/poetry challenges, that I love, here.
Another snowstorm was on the way for the weekend, so I went grocery shopping on Friday evening and I found these gorgeous tulips, yellow and orange, at the grocery store. Of course, I had to get them.
I still have my Valentine’s roses, yellow ones, drying out. I dried red roses many years ago, they turned out great and are decorating my living room. These yellow ones are also drying beautifully. Not all the roses dry the way I like, so it’s great when they do and I can preserve them.
Today the clocks went ahead one hour. I’m taking this morning slowly, not hurrying to catch up with the lost hour.
I made pancakes for breakfast to enjoy with a strong black coffee. I got my orange mug last weekend while travelling to the USA middle-west. I drove all the way from Canada, a long drive, however pleasant, I love a road trip.
Yellow and orange are calling for me. I need to search for their meanings, I know yellow is happiness, and warm, but not sure about orange.
Wishing a wonderful day to you!
lightness of being
in between colours and dreams she carries the weight of her ancestors in her veins and heart victories and achievements pain and submission laugh by the bonfire and paint on her skin the shine in the eyes and wrinkles of wisdom her face doesn’t betray the lightness of her being

March is here
Looking forward for a new month full of inspiration and colours. My tiny journal is getting chubby, not much as I expected, February was a slow journaling month, hoping to catch up in March.
Today I woke up with a feeling of excitement, spring is coming but at the same time a feeling of missed opportunities: Did I learn all of the lessons from winter? Did I enjoy all its coziness? Did I dive inwards and really connected to myself? …My questions started with DID, it’s the past, now let me look ahead, to all the new possibilities of growth and blooming.
And you? How are you feeling about the change of the seasons?
Wishing you a flourishing new month, Spring or Autumn, both bring colours to the Earth.
In March winter is holding back and Spring is pulling forward.
Something holds and something pulls inside of us too.

Nonet – Purple
i'm the owner of my destiny i'm powerful, I don't need you slowly nearing my empire my eyes will burn your soul purple as my dress hate flourishes forgiveness is past go
Tanka Tuesday this week explores Ekphrastic poetry, inspired by works of art.
This is an impressive portrait, the lady exhales confidence. The eyes and the colour purple called my attention. Purple colour expresses luxury, power, and independence. She seems content but at the same time, I see hate in her eyes.
Haibun – a smear of jam
A smear of jam on my white shirt, the school uniform I always complained about.
Now, after many years, better to say, many decades, I miss that time. I miss the lightness portrayed in my memories when the worries were the exams and friendships.
The breakfast and lunch were always ready before and after school, as well as delicious snacks to take with me. Peanut butter and jam were savoured in hurry between laughs and books.
The smear of jam on my white shirt was inevitable.
No worries, the shirt would be washed as soon as I got home.

The world is yours
A micro poem for this beautiful image. I saw power and freedom when I looked at it. Now I have a question for you: Which of them is giving this advice to the other? The giraffe or the lady?
