Towards the Far Horizon

In the silence of early morning, The dawn makes her gentle presence know. Soft light spills across the water, In the quiet, we slip our mooring lines, No fanfare, no farewell songs- Just the whisper of the ocean’s breath As we glide where we belong. Then the wind, like a whispered command, Fills our sails […]
The Winds Of Change

The winds of change are in my head, They whisper truths I’ve left unsaid. Moments cherished, etched in gold, Others fading, growing old. I sift through time with tender care, Some memories I choose to wear- Like warm coats in winter’s chill, They comfort me, they always will. But others, heavy, worn and frayed, Are […]
Whisper of Autumn

The summer leaves, so shiny, so green, Bask beneath a golden sheen. Then fade into the autumn air, Their emerald hues now rich and rare. Cool winds stir with gentle might, Their golden glow caught in the light. They shake them loose with wistful sound, Each leaf drifts softly to the ground. Their time is […]
Where There Is Love

Where there is love, the silence sings, A hush that holds the weight of wings, No need for words, no need for more- Just hearts that open like doors. Where there is love, the storm stands still, Its fury softened by gentle will, The sky, once torn, begins to mend, And every wound finds time […]

Thank you, faces kind and near, and ones yet to appear , For laughter shared and. voices clear, never […]
Nurses in Harm’s Way

Forward: A memory never to forget, Laying in the Intensive Care room of Sarasota Memorial Hospital in the early hours of January 3rd, 2025 the two pipes in my throat were coursing me to constantly gag, it was like the feeling of drowning. A kindly nurse held my hand, speaking to me softly till she […]
The Gift of Thanks

We rise not just to chase the sun, But to feel its golden kiss, To laugh with friends whose voices run, Like rivers through our bliss. The breeze that bends the willow tree, The coffee. Shared at dawn, The childlike thrill of being free, Before the day is gone. A glance, a grin, a hand […]

Where Did All The Time Go? A Love Laced Reflection

Where did all the time go, like Galey colored petals in the breeze, Swept through the years with effortless ease. Not lost, but stitched in the fabric of days, Woven with laughter in tender displays. I chased my ambitions through trial and strain, Yet found the deepest strength not in gain. But in the eyes […]
