An
Altar
Mystical
Powers lie here
Guarding, stone idols
Sit, surrounding spirits
In captivating confines
Foot soldiers to the mighty gods
Once men, now lost in a purple haze
Where no one can cast the spell of rebirth

I can’t believe it! Five years have flown by and my little blog has an anniversary today. It seemed only yesterday when I posted my first article, back when I wasn’t posting my poetry (That’s officially in January).
Of course, I wouldn’t be here without the support and friendship from so many in the WordPress community, family and friends. I never dreamed I would make it this far, and yet, 13 books later, with #14 in my hands awaiting editing, I am still here. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our dear friend, Paul Lenzi, who left us far too soon. He helped me in so many ways. I would never be able to thank him enough.
And so, off to year six, and Lord only knows what it will bring! Many thanks to all of you, for allowing me to share my thoughts (sometimes crazy ones) and cheering me on. Because of you, I am able to continue my dream. See ya round the blogosphere! ❤

No one asks, where the howls come from
The screams, the forsaken, echo, and thrum
A mysterious glow, envelops the house
No one dares near it, not even a mouse
For evil lies heavy where no man has been
The howling of spirits, releasing their sin
Cast away these beasts, ungodly, at best
Immortal creatures, no longer blessed
Demons, each Lucifer, an evil disgrace
Still fight for their right, on this Earthly space

Make a wish upon a star
See the moon glow bright
Little one who watches
Out the window of the night
Whisk your dreams away
On the gentle evening breeze
Skyward clouds paint the skies
And mingle with the trees
Quietly she sits in thought
Dear sweet child of ebony light
Watches out the window
Enchanted by heavenly delight

Darkness falls across my face
I’m weary from the day
Yet, this is the time that I embrace
Where my mind begins to stray
To fantasies and wonderlands
To visions quite obscure
To a place, my mind expands
With magical allure
Where dreams become realities
Where life’s a nursery rhyme
Where there is no normality
And I can pass the time
Until the light must shine and splay
Become a brand new morn
And I must tuck my dreams away
Until the night, again, is born
