Twilight at the lake house
Around the bonfire with friends
Sipping, talking, laughing…
For now, all is well.
I hold this shining moment:
So glad I hung on,
Despite the pain,
The hopelessness,
The not knowing how to go on.
If I had ended it all
15 years ago
I would have missed
This sweet Spring night –
The sun saying goodnight to the trees,
Spending time with friends I never knew I’d meet,

happy to be here and alive.

Now I take care of myself

and the moments take care of me.

Shedding Skins

Shed the skins of years gone by
hang them out like wash to dry
Blow the memories to the sky
Whispered prayers for days gone by
Stepping stones of hope and try.

Love’s bright candle flames, flickers, dies.

Brambles of bitterness snag my heart.

Sliding into homebase, into your arms.

Falling in love is like walking across slippery wet rocks – exciting, fun, dangerous.

Thanks to Ann of My Just Desserts – myjustdesserts.org – I had another successful jewelry sale at her lovely historic restaurant.  Visited with friends, sold some of my art, and had dessert – what could be better?

If you are ever in Alton, Illinois, treat yourself to a fabulous lunch and a to-die-for dessert, like the one below:
