  1. Dusk

    i had such grandiose plans
    another day to spend
    from the bank of my life
    to reap the dividend

    somewhere i went awry
    i lost track of the sun
    when i turned around again
    the day was almost done

    so now i pin my hopes
    on the fading light
    i watch the creeping shadows
    and make plans for the night

  4. Wednesday’s Interview With UK Author Margo Milburn

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_Z2_cz5k9A https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3HDRYLG She fled 300 miles from a shattered marriage... and ran straight into her second chance. When Maria catches her husband in a passionate kiss with the neighbor, she doesn’t hesitate. That same night, she packs her bags, rents a remote Cornish cottage over the phone, and drives to the ancient fishing village of Penlowan — nestled beneath the protective glow of the iconic lighthouse. She came for peace. For […]

  6. Broken Chair

    I rescued the chair from outside someone’s apartment with the hope of fixing it and having it become a welcome member of our family.

    But, as often happens, it sat around in various places waiting for me to find the time to repair it.

    Finally, I decided it was one more project I did not have time for, and so yesterday I put it out on the sidewalk in the hopes that someone would take it home.

    It sat out there all through yesterday in the rain and the sun, lonely, awaiting a new friend. A few people paused to look but then drove away. Periodically I would look out my window to see it still sitting forlornly there.

    Then this morning I noticed an older gentleman walking past who began to inspect the chair. He picked it up, put it on his back and walked away.

    It is a beautiful chair. It just needs to be repaired, and I am sure its new owner will do just that.

    I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot like that broken chair, waiting for the gentle hands of someone to put me back together again.

    I wait, broken, with the hope that those hands will touch me, I will be healed, and I can have a purpose again.

  8. Builder

    For Nelson (May 16, 1944-July 13, 2005)

    If I would have my life to live over again,
    I would find an old stone wall in disrepair
    and I would spend my days seeking the tumbled
    down stones hidden in the grass.

    By day I would rebuild the wall. At night I
    would lie in its lee. I would not be afraid
    of the snakes and rodents disturbed from
    their dark places in the cracks between the
    stones where they sleep.

    And when my life came to an end and the wall
    was as yet unfinished, I would not moan. I
    would lay myself down against the rocks and
    let my body fade away into a place of rest in
    the cracks between the stones.
