Spring Haze

Moving down the road

Like a bird in flight

Colors flashing by

Sprinkled with sunlight

All becomes a blur

Whizzing quickly by me

In a flowered haze

Of blossoms and new leaves

Lavender and gold

Chartreuse green and lime

Cranberry red maple blooms

Set against the pines

All against a sky

Of blue beyond all blues,

While woolly clouds scamper

Over all these brilliant hues

I find the springtime haze

Makes me feel so high

It sets my mind aflame,

It makes me feel alive!

Not the best artwork, but I was having fun!

My Child

It is a terrible love

this fierce mother’s love I feel,

for my child.

She does not understand it,

my childless daughter,

she cannot comprehend how I feel,

or why

I would go to the ends of the earth for her,

I would fight to the death for her,

I would suffer any pain for her,

and wash her soul in healing tears.

She is my daughter.

She is my child.

That’s all.

And that’s everything.
