November Chill ~ 2011

Mind Bending

“Darlin you have the voice of an angel…”
eyes twinkle with starlight and words so smooth,
so very smooth
they cause pause and reflection
that only the holy
and anointed
dare stare without hesitation
and in a divine moment,
a split second,
a NY minute counted backwards is short changed,
slipped his hand into mine
stole a single thread of golden light
that circled around my naiveté
angel wings plucked
from high above
leaving minuscule reflections
of tiny glistening pieces –

...no regret.

Cali Redhead And Witch Fest...

We flew to California to celebrate life with our sister witch. Emotions were mixed as we partied like there was no tomorrow, knowing there may not be. Hugs and kisses, tears were kept at bay - we pray the next medical plan keeps our littlest witch with us for a very long long time!

No time for tears Glinda, we will smile and laugh - share a bottle of wine, a bit of this and that. Music, walks on the beach, good food, good friends - old and new...bluebird skies mentality in Laguna Beach, CA.

Sunset ~ California ~ Ari and Friends 2011

Never Felt A Sunrise

Notes float
synchronize
cool blues
steal guitar slide
old love song
the line rolls
something like this
or that
doesn’t matter much
if you get my point
and I know you do…

“…I never saw a sunset until I met you babe…”

and so the story goes
from one
seductive phrase
to another
leaving much
to a tired imagination
and I’ll wonder for a lifetime
what’s hidden behind
that perfect smile
when the music between us flows
another line rolls

“…never felt a sunrise until I met you babe…”
