Improve the World
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” – Anne Frank
Between the Lines
The words flowing across the screen speak for me A voice when I have none The words hurl daggers at unseen tormentors They also caress and soothe The words curse scream sob or whisper They also laugh chuckle and delight With them I am lifted to ecstasy flying on invisible wings Or they show the view of my mental torture my cell of hellish nightmares No matter the day I always find myself between the lines

ME BEFORE YOU
How do I rid myself of rememberingall the different ways you use to love me?
I pray to forget how much you’ve hurt me.
I prefer to remember me before you.
That’s not true.
The thought of not knowing you is worse then trying to unlove you.
In this lifetime I’m not meant to have you, as long as I would have liked to.

Today I walk with healing cracks all over my heart.
Besides that this new me feels strong.
Ready to start singing a platinum love song.
The 2020 Daily Writing Challenge – September 22
Writing is like driving at night in the fog.
You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
– E. L. Doctorow
Today is Day 266 of the 2020 Daily Writing Challenge.
Did you write yesterday? Half of the year is in our rear-view mirror, and I am drawing a line in the sand. The targets I missed, the stories I didn’t compose, they no longer matter. These last six months are history. Done. I won’t lie, 2020 kicked me in the head, leaving me stunned, unsteady, and incapable of completing anything beyond basic tasks. I bet I am not alone, but don’t count me out yet. They say what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, right? I am confident I will discover I am more capable than I have ever been. I dug deep, reevaluated my annual goals, and I decided…

Happy Autumnal Equinox — Daily Quote
Everyone believes leaves change color based on temperatures, but science says chlorophyll production depends on the amount of daylight and photosynthesis. With shorter days, the tree replenishes less chlorophyll, the vibrant green fades, and familiar fall pigments become visible. This weekend, my windshield captured a small yellow leaf, and I realized autumn had arrived.
Asters and chrysanthemums are beginning to bloom, and an evening chill encourages me to search for a warm sweater. According to the lunar calendar, we are in for a special treat. I always note the date of the annual Harvest Moon, the first full moon after the equinox, so I don’t miss it. This year it falls on Thursday, October 1, and sets the stage for a Halloween Blue moon on Saturday, October 31—Halloween night. Doesn’t that sound perfect for Halloween?
It is time to turn off the air conditioning and throw open the windows. My…

Equinox – A Tanka – Poetry For Healing
Summer thunderclaps are now finally silenced Cool, blue sky morning crisply awakens the earth and Autumn is born again
Between Sky and Sand
Between sky and sand we fly
never pondering why
we have the gift of wings
and a song to sing.
For we are not like mortals
who always look ahead
we accept this fate
living now before it’s too late
learning to simply be.
