Newtown, Connecticut
The color has faded
I only see tears.
Sweet little angels
robbed of so many years.

Contemplation of the day now ending.
did i laugh enough
did i show kindness
did I listen without speaking
did i follow my heart
did I find the joy...
what was my compass for this day
was it well lived....
...as beautiful as this moment.

The wheels of my rolling computer bag
seem to sing the blissful song of freedom.
Looking ahead to the days of peaceful, home time.
all the snarky drama behind me.
Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Gray Skies
There is a place.. an 'in-between space'.. way beyond grief. It holds you captive months, maybe years.. it comes after heartbreak right after the tears. "just not the same" - that's what you say you feel numb and the color is gray. ~ rella

HIS EYES
his eyes catch mine
soft .... knowing eyes.
with words unspoken
we exchange
soul-thoughts
and I return my gaze to the stars we had discovered
with a heart full and happy

For Joel on your 30th Birthday In the stillness, in the quiet moments when the noise and madness of the world cease to exist... or even matter... I close my eyes and head on back. Without packing a bag or saying goodbye ... back I travel through the years, the smiles, the tears. Back to the immeasurable joy of newborn fingers...tightly curled.. ...around my heart. Back...back to happily ever after and childhood laughter with brown-crayon scribbled art.

straight and tall they stand like steadfast soldiers standing watch guarding precious lives in this parched place I live but cannot call home these past ten years. themselves, more often than not, a safe haven for feathered families reminding me of love through all that is harsh, painful, lonely.
