I share my bounty
For life has given me joy
In abundant love
This little guy comes right up to my hubby, not even afraid. They play a game with peanuts. Yes, he’s wildlife but he is also life…I love my chippies 🙂

Twilight…
When darkness shadows day
And the skies fall silently to sleep
When the moon
And his stars quietly awaken
With their guiding lights, to keep
The nightmares at bay, the ones
That invade my head,
Keep them far away,
So I can dream
Of happiness instead

A quiet moment, alone on a swing
Hoping my heart can remember to sing
Floating on air, in the bright morning light
Knowing full well, I must keep up the fight
To conquer this monster, restless in me
I can no longer take all of life’s sympathy
For those who don’t know, it feels like you’ve died
From all of those emotions you’ve kept deep inside
I look not for pity, from eyes as they glare
But hope one day, I am not ashamed to share
The burdens I lay at my very own feet
Trying so hard, to fight this defeat
I’ve locked it away, yet it’s close to my heart
The sadness I feel, like I’m falling apart
Not knowing which way I can turn and still care
Falling deeper and deeper into empty despair
Til the chirp of a bird sings its own happy song
And in that very moment, my heart sings along
Rejoicing, he sings, such a sweet melody
His reminder, that happiness is waiting for me

When light begins to shine
And darkened skies diminish
I find you still, fast asleep
Thoughts and dreams unfinished
A subtle smile upon your face
To tell me you’re all right
With what awaits once you awake
From slumber’s gentle night
