while inside I sit as summer
takes control of my mind.
The sweet scents of flowers
and animals greeting calls
from across the meadows.
The swaths of grass
swaying gently in the warm breeze
and with my eyes closed
I can see it all in my mind’s eye.
The sun implanted in a blue sky
with its warmth wrapping itself around you
like a lover’s arms would do.
All this and more
my imagination can conjure
in the meadows of my mind
on a winter’s day.

his own council most of the time.Any old thing can set me off into a huff.When I let my steam out at anyonewho might be passing.My face goes redand my mouth sprouts bluster and brine,but never a swear word is uttered.My writing has taught me to usemetaphors instead of four letter wordsand a raised voice…
the ones passed downfrom generation to generationnever to be revealed to the outside world.Some are considered shameful,others fill the heart with dread,all them are secretsbest kept within the family.Some do reveal themselvesin the most astonishing ways,an innocent conversationand something never talked aboutis suddenly revealed.Something thought so shameful,means nothing anymore,but is never cast asideand someone wishesthat…
