A Poem Can Be Found Anywhere If You Take The Time To Look:

The beautiful and the damned,

are on the road,

as Dharma Bums,

looking for the end,

in the garden of the beasts.

Rope Lights 

/ Alysia / Leave a comment

Sometimes even the light needs support.

Nothing more solid than an old tree firmly rooted along the riverbed.

It offers a platform, a blank canvas for the light to manipulate.

With each passing moment the sun sets further to the west allowing the light to come to the forefront.

Then and only then,

If and only if

you are willing.

The sparkle will show the unrepeatable contours of the bark.

Easily missed but it’s shelter allows for everything else.

Never underestimate the shell in nature, or

in you.

Bubbles for Inspiration

/ Alysia / 6 Comments

 I was struggling to get back on track with my latest novel so I decided a change of scenery was needed. 

Delicious local beer can get the creative juices flowing, every bubble is an idea.

Where do you go to get the juices flowing?

Summer Changes

/ Alysia / 4 Comments

I think what I like most about the summer is its ability to be dramatic. It can be sunny and cheerful one moment and then dark and destructive the next.

You think you can see the storm coming but you can never be sure until it arrives.

There is no preparation only experience.

It strikes me as the right way to approach the world

and

for me, for tonight, writing.
