A Quick Note of Thanks

heart-1577791_960_720Good evening (or morning if you’re on the other side of the pond)  🙂

I wanted to take a brief moment of your time to say thank you.  My life has been a bit chaotic lately, and I don’t always get a chance to comment on your blogs as much as I would like.  For that, I apologize but I know you all understand.

Yesterday was the third anniversary of the day I began my blog.  2013 was a whirlwind year for me, with many changes.  I took a chance and completely changed my career, to do what I’ve always loved best…write.  I didn’t know what to expect.  I didn’t know if I would be accepted. Honestly, I was scared to death.  This is where you all come in.  I have been blessed with the most amazing people I could ever find, many of you becoming dear friends over these past years.

So I say to all of you, I am extremely blessed to be part of this wonderful community.  I look forward to many years ahead with you, laughing, crying and doing what we love best, supporting each other in whatever endeavors we strive for.

Thank you so very much, from the bottom of my heart, for making me feel like I am home  🙂

❤

My Muse

This is the hour that suits me most

The time of night when I play host

To a stubborn muse who refuses to sleep

Who keeps me from my slumber deep

“Write the words”, she screams at me

Buzzing about, like an angry bee

No use arguing with this chick

Her mood swings come on pretty quick

I try to snooze, unsuccessfully

She tugs on my hair, quite like a bully

And then she lightens up her tone

She knows I need to be alone

To write the words that swirl in my head

The ones she whispered before SHE went to bed

The Guardians

Sun, guardian of day,

When clouds cover over, will we lose our way?

Will we aimlessly roam, seeking your light?

Or forever be lost, in the ebony night

Moon, guardian of night

When clouds cover over, do we quiver with fright?

Will we aimlessly roam, seeking the way?

Or forever be lost, to the light of day

H ow the dark of night devours

A ll souls who gather near

L onging to reach their destiny

L iving, yet no longer here

O therworldly, seeking shadows

W hen the light of day resigns

E ver frightening in their disguise

E phemeral glow ignites their eyes

N onphysical spirits, at midnight, shine
