A Light in the Night

The lights come with the season;

Basic, More, Extraordinary.

Each year there is a new story;

Time, Effort, Exhaustion.

Their beauty inspires;

Wonder, Intrigue, Awe.

In the end;

Hope, Love, Contentment.

If only for the moment.

How It Burns

Burning Dandelion1

Common, oft forgotten

forever vilified.

Never invited, always multiplying,

The bane of the surrounding beauty.

As destructive as beautiful,

Intended; not; encompassing.

Immeasurable damage.

Awe inspiring.

Combined they strengthen,

Previous potential never seen,

An everlasting imprint.

Gone

Gone is the vibrance, all of the color.

Forced out permanently; the rust has taken

over.

The buildings all lay vacant.

No more energy, hard work or sweat.

The men have to leave, not given any choice or

option.

Where will they go?

How will the whole continue to survive,

Without the middle?

Let sleeping dogs lie

Momentary peace, momentary silence

Not a single bark or howl to be heard,

It is a time for reflection.

Companionship, frustration

Love, annoyance, comfort.

A partner in crime,

Who never fails to bring a smile.

Unconditional,

Undying,

A partner in life.

The Hunt for Inspiration

The simple, the mundane it can

always be found within

the toughest task is to be

willing, willing to look.

The beauty can show through

or it can be felt, the

wildcard is who for it

is easy to overlook.

Take the time to

fully absorb the moment,

opportunity too often floats

by.

Behind the facade, behind

the mist lays your

greatest accomplishment just

waiting, waiting for you

to find it.

Crisp

Crisp, cold, bone chilling.

My breathe is the only thing I can see.

Where is the warmth found,

Under a wool blanket,

Or next to a freshly stoked fire?

Those only warm the skin.

Heat is what is I need.

The type of heat that is rare,

The type of heat found in your arms.

Your heat warms not just the skin,

But my heart and soul.
