I hide, in an obvious place

In the most unusual space

Though you think all you see

Is a shriveled up tree

What it is, is really my face

 

Disguised, like the bark of an oak

I quietly watch, as the folk

Walk by me and glance

Did they see me, by chance?

When I’m hidden, under this cloak

 

There’s no need to fear my presence

I’m simply the earth, in its essence

I’ll be here awhile

Mystify and beguile

Until, I depart, evanescence

A Short Break

Good afternoon (evening, morning) friends,

I will be taking a short break from the world of WordPress.  Some of you may have noticed it is taking me some time to reply to comments, etc.  My daughter has been ill and I will be spending my time caring for her, trying once and for all to get to the bottom of all of this! I also have my mom with me, who is recuperating from a fractured spine.  To say I have my hands full, is putting it mildly.  Thank the Lord I have an amazing man by my side, who holds me up.  I keep wondering who holds him up!!  But I also know, God has us in his hands, and we shall persevere!!   ❤

I have scheduled posts to fulfill my obligations with #NaPoWriMo & Morgan’s Daily Haiku Challenge.  Please understand that if you do comment, I may not be able to get to you for a bit.  I really have no idea when I will actually return.

As always, you are bright spots in my days, and I love this community.  I’ll be around when I can…

~Dorinda

Softly, petals swirl

In layers, beauty appears

As spring’s rose garden

Early morning hours

Linger for an eternity

In ebony light

Dried up, depleted

I, like a wilted rose

On the yellowed page

Fell crumbled, defeated

And you left me that way

Life’s mere challenges

Can bring much joy or chagrin

In one human’s day
