Pretty Kite
injured,
trampled into salt battered stone;
lone, unloved
today’s sweepings
left for trash.
I’ll detangle your tail,
unknot your ribbons,
your strangled cord,
lay you

Lurch shake kite,
cloud billow fill,
wind bound loop over and above;
sun streamered dragon,
slink over sand,
euphoria blissful, revitalize.
"Success is not final,
failure isn't fatal,
it's the courage to continue that really counts."
(Winston Churchill)

On the floor, fiend fighter, vision skewing, limbs spilt wrong. Can’t uprise or self utter, can’t figure what just passed or what you should have done – to have cursed, or mere blamed, to have ran […]
This beautiful poem is a guest post by my friend Dot, who has just lost her beloved – and beautiful dog, Josh: I went to the dog’s home to get me a pet, when a pup with long legs jumped in my arms the minute we met! Oh no, not you, you’re not for me, […]

Silence tomorrow, Exit yesterday, I’m living for the now, For what I’ve here in my hands, today.
