CCC #253 -  Peaceful Dove

Peace It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst  of those things, and still be calm in your heart. ©anonymous 2023©Isadora DeLa Vega ~~~~~~~~~ Crispina Crimson Challenge – #253 to join in click here

Heaven's Embrace 

Heaven’s Embrace 

I wish for a road That is sunny and clear, Filled with love’s blessings And, friends who are dear. I wish for blue skies. And fields filled with flowers, Fragrance and colors To last seasonal hours. It happens; I like A mist on my face, It’s a way to enjoy Heaven’s embrace. And soon, as time passes. The season will change,  To welcome a  crisp wintery stage When life may not seem…

Crispina Creative Challenge -  A Sign of the Times

Crispina Creative Challenge –  A Sign of the Times

There’s a new cable system going to be installed on our road to Gulf Cove. What?  How on earth will I get to my house!  You’ll have to go through the round-about on Gillot Street. That’s so inconvenient for the people who live in this community. Well, at least, we’ll be getting a better cable system. Internet and streaming will be faster. Oh beans, why don’t people just read or play games for…

Crispina Creative Challenge - Vintage Airplane Show

Crispina Creative Challenge – Vintage Airplane Show

Her dad spoken of the war many times.  It always made him sad. Still, he loved to tell those war stories despite the pain. “We were good soldiers,” he’d say. We did our best but a lot of boys died trying. “Dad, are you enjoying the vintage airplane show?” “Oh yes, dear, I am”. I could see a tear start to fall.  Perhaps, this wasn’t the best outing today. 2022©Isadora DeLaVega ~~~~~~~~~ Crispina…

Crispina Creative Challenge - Beyond the Blue Horizon

Crispina Creative Challenge – Beyond the Blue Horizon

Come to the edge, he said. You can see the sea. I’m afraid, I said. The menacing sky will soon pass, he said. Will you hold my hand? I said I am with you forever and evermore, he spoke with a radiant smile. Together we leaped across to places beyond the horizon. 2022©Isadora DeLaVega ~~~~~~~~~ Crispina Crimson Challenge – #166 to join in click here  ~~~~~~~~~

A Day Begins

The sun rises I see hope  just beyond the horizon The day glows,   the brightest light. Our lives lost Now, found. I rise and feel, your strength  in mine. Like butterfly wings in flight I feel you waft. Close my eyes; I see your beauty Close my eyes; I feel you here Nature’s dance of love for you. 2021©Isadora DeLaVega ~~~~~~~~~ Every Wednesday Crispina will post a photo like this one above. You…

Heartbreak and Pain

Like scattered petals fallen to the ground,  My heart needs the pieces put back together.  Your words erased my existence. Now, I can be free. For you are gone, And, I will never speak your words. When I was young,  You held me captive. You cannot hurt me now,  Nor do I scare. Love does not dominate It cultivates and cares. I will not ever have your love,  But I have someone who…

Carnival Horror

Adults held children while running and screaming in all directions.   Horror on their faces signaled an unmistakable accident. Uniformed fair staff and guards gathered everyone to safe zones. A day of carnival treats and rides; now, the scene of a devastating tragedy. Shock and terror paralyzed me.  I declined Monica’s request that morning to escort her son, my daughter’s friend, to the fair.…

Père’s Unfulfilled Wish

Brigitte exhaled as she came upon the Cathédrale Saint-Bénigne.  Pensively she said, “Père would have been tearful. He carried painful memories of the war in his heart.”  “Henri, why did you die before you could find peace?” Mère had never spoken about those times, nor did Père  After the funeral, I promised Mère I’d bring her here. Now, she’d find peace for both of them. As I looked at the…

A Folktale - The Trouble Tree

A Folktale – The Trouble Tree

The carpenter we hired to help us restore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his beat-up pickup truck refused to start.  While we drove him home,  he sat in stony silence.  On arriving, he invited us in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small…
