ignite
small candle’s wick
invisible by day
revealed in heavy shroud of night
in darkest hour, the little flame dances
makes shadows bend and sway, arching
along dry, tinder path
to winter’s hearth
ignite

“You’ve created a world and set of characters that ranks up there with the great quest novels like The Lord of the Rings and even Harry Potter. I enjoyed your succinct writing style that brought all this to life without overdoing the descriptions. I felt I was right alongside Mattoby and his motley crew as they go in search of the lumenstones. I loved the adventures they go through. I like how you made your characters believable and not one dimensional. You gave them each distinct personalities that weren’t stereotypical. Your pacing was wonderful – I had to keep turning the pages to find out what happens next. Great fantasy fiction.” – Judge, 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards.

flow, in tempest, swirls
rock and root anchor the bed

Blessings to all my blogging friends and wishes for safety and gentle healing, especially for my family and friends in California. 💕
now fall warm showers
liquid drips off bodies, drenched
splashes lap our feet

silently bound to suffer

soft skin stripped and flipped
harder than chain-mail armor
strong wings form within

A little cherita fun for a cold morning in my corner of the world. Peace and prosperous endeavors to all my blogging friends around the world. 🍁🙏🍂
shut the box and locked it
grandma carried the load
to beloved garden plot
among the clementines and lilies
she labored, humming,
and buried it six feet deep
