Headlines

Wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and quakes filled news headlines. But, it was matters of the heart that filled her mind,
“My world is ending.”
(140 disastrous characters)
 
Note:
Mother nature has had her way with us this year. Many of us have been dancing to her tune for a couple of months preparing for, running from or cleaning up after her unleashed furry. Yours truly has been among those stocking up, leaving town and eventually playing host to others who had to get out of Dodge. And while this note serves as a feeble excuse for my long absence from writing, the main purpose was to explain where I’ve been and to remind us that many have not come through this unscathed. Their lives have been upended in profound ways through loss of loved ones and loss of the life that they knew. If you can help others in any way, please do.

Gloaming

It’s been awhile since I’ve written here. Now that summer (and all of the distractions that come with it) is over, I’m back to the keyboard.

To celebrate the change of seasons, I wrote this little 140 character piece – Gloaming.

Happy Fall, Y’all!

Paint the world bittersweet in the penumbra fringe;
Hasten the sun’s fade and chilled twilight air,
Then whisper dark secrets in the gloaming.
