Every day
is a new beginning
an opportunity
to thrive–
surmounting obstacles
in the way
of the pursuit of happiness

headlines from the edge
It’s hard to read
the news–
every day, a new crisis
Some say it’s “fake”
blurring the lines
between truth and fiction
Or maybe the truth
is hidden behind
smoke and mirrors
A world of virtual reality
nothing but sensational
and gaslighting
But I must hold on
to what I know is true
and my sanity

sky gazing
The sky is a pastel blue this morning. A few passing clouds look like cotton candy. There is a hint of a sunrise into the distance. Gradually getting brighter. And I wonder what the day will bring. Perhaps an unexpected surprise to liven up the routine. A kind word. A smile. A dream–fulfilled.

his word …
against hers–
who will they believe now
when the only proof
is in the tears

in hindsight
should have
gone for something
unbreakable–
not easy to make
it whole again
out of all
the shattered pieces

just a thought
poetry is for the lonely
because when you’re in love
words don’t come easy

I wonder …
do you believe
in starry nights
love at first sight
moonbeams & sparks
unbroken hearts
sunsets and dreams
do you believe
in me?
