HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The mountains rejoice, A light blanket of pristine snow, Crisp, cool air nipping, a gentle wind, Drifting, silent, soft, and slow, across the waláwa valley – home.

Inside, Rooms glowing with warmth and golden lights, Woodstoves  crackling, a cozy embrace, Guests arrive, the rooms are filling, A season of hope and cheer... READ the complete poem at 👇

Lost in Time

In that split of a second, When you think you are wrecking, Emotionally exhausted again,

     You feel your well-known foe, darkness      creeping in, accompanied by his close friend, loneliness,      seeking to drown all hope, for the rise of ugly despair. 

You remember the day, When everything changed, A new kind of love intervened, Transcended and pure, mature,

And you remember,

Shared Sorrow, Silent Tears – The Loss of Little Bear Dreamer

It’s been two days since a beautiful spirit unbound, was called back home, crossing over the rainbow, to gallop wild and free, entering eternity in peace.

When I looked out the window on this warm November morning, I see Sir Henry, my long-time Norwegian equine partner, grieving deeply, for our best friend, sweet Little Bear Dreamer.

He looks as if he is yearning for the glorious days to return, she will be back, somehow, still not comprehending, the loss, unaware of the finality here on Earth.

A Look Back: Veterans Day and a Mother and Daughter’s Journey Home

Today, November 11, marks a significant milestone for my daughter Tina and me. Thinking about my journey from 36 years ago, a wave of nostalgia overwhelms me. It was on this day, that we finally returned home for good.

As a proud former Army spouse and Army Mom, I hold this day in the highest regard. In May of 1995, I was sworn into the United States Army in Denver, CO, but a serious family situation did not allow me to continue my own path to serve my country...

Timeless Dreams

TIMELESS DREAMS I can see myself, Far away and long ago, Sitting outside in the cold, Gazing at the stars, imagining my prince charming.

Feminine and Fierce

Feminine and Fierce READ the complete poem at 👇 https://littlebear.blog/feminine-and-fierce/ She’s fun, she’s fiery, and bold, beautiful, charming, and smart,

A deadly combination, at times, for the feminine, even in the 21st Century.

Declaring independence and brains, what a mistake, say those who expect her to conform...

The Gift of Trust

READ the complete poem at 👇 https://littlebear.blog/the-gift-of-trust/ Where would she be, if he never entered her life? if he didn’t exist?

Though she feels, his absence deeply, She senses his presence,

Close enough to reach out, Close enough to stay on her toes, Close enough to stay sane...

The Mouse in the Italian Suit

...Standing on his tiny hind feet – bare I’d add, shifting his weight, one foot up and against the wall – launching pad. Tiny spirals curling upwards, dancing in the air, I see, he is smoking a long, slim cigarette – indeed. READ the complete poem at 👇 https://littlebear.blog/the-mouse-in-the-italian-suit/

14 Years On

When my granddaughter was four, she and I sat in the front yard,  talking about her world,  little elves, and baby deer.

She was an inquisitive little genius, always coming up with new questions beyond her years.

 I remember her asking  as serious as one can get,  “Grandma when I’m sad,   where can I contact God  to have a polite conversation?”

Heaven at Eleven

One evening back at a bar,sitting pretty with a friend,there you are, again,handsome, gorgeous, kind,a knockout in my mind – I can’t let go, thinking… He’s looking straight at me, I struggle,not to take notice. I suspect, I am going to hell,drinking in heaven at eleven. I’m trying to ignore him, butI’m losing the battle, I can’t escape his spell,It feels so good, it must be right,No safety net,…

KNIGHT OF AN EARLY SUMMER - AN ETERNAL BLOOM

THE KNIGHT OF EARLY SUMMER - AN ETERNAL BLOOM Time, they declared, inevitably stamps love with an expiration date. The older you get, the less you are meant to feel, the dream of passion and desire disappears.

Love, they say, a fading bloom is reserved for youth’s appeal. READ the complete poem at 👇 https://littlebear.blog/the-knight-of-early-summer-an-eternal-bloom/ Convinced love was lost, She felt dead inside. Her life, dark and empty, Feeling unwanted for years.

Rollercoaster

It’s been good, it’s been bad and kinda so-so. The last few months riding out life’s rollercoaster.

Her life, an uphill battle, fighting for someone else, her own survival – No to collateral damage, it’s been draining, exhausting, a battle to hold on.

The other night, she found herself in a little wooden red bucket seat, strapped in with a rope, Alone right up front in a big rollercoaster – incomplete...

Write it Down!

It’s been a couple of days since I wrote my last poem, I guess I needed a break to take a deep breath. So much has happened, so many questions, Not enough answers.

So many things going on in my head. So many feelings, so much unspoken, So much to think about.

Then last night...

Unsealed

Once you feel her, there is no doubt,There is no way out.Once you embrace her, You’ve accepted the invitation. This new state of mind – irrational, illogical, it seems.An eruption of two souls, raw, exposed, and untamed.Wielding extraordinary power without constraint. Her mission, to echo and resound across eternity,Conquering with extraordinary weapons, she promises not to fade.She’s not from…
