Containers

Flowers neatly arranged in a teapot placed on the coffee table always fascinate her. Secrets tumble out during leisurely conversations around the table. Anne’s father worked for the railways, and always traveled in a salon attached to the train. She loved journeys bordering on luxury, and once flicked a teapot as a memoir. “You know … Continue reading Containers

It’s temporary!

Welcomings

the breeze says you’re
not lost, you’re here
welcoming love all around
let it find you.

The unknown attracts and forbids

Treachery or treasure, don't know

Possibilities entice

My ego tastes of surprise gifts

Don't stop. Ready or not, Just go

Logic and Reason don't suffice

Will wonder wander wherever
On the only road to forever
