I wake and rouse

Throw on my shoes

I meet the dark

And watch to see

Nature smiles

Gives back at me.

When time has passed,

leaving memories as traces.

The renewing of play

shows up on the faces.

It is a moment that is treasured forever

of childhood laughs

and treasured together.

In early morning light

I lite a fire

to break the chill

Summer’s gift …

ice tea a summer drink

Goes with runs

And and summer fun

Ice tea

Summer and flip flops

Ankle brackets and lemonade

Walk around the block

With tie dyes we made .

Summer was forever

Days last all night and

Storms came quickly

Soon out of sight

Summer and flips flops

always something sweet 

Summer and flip flops

the sand at our feet.

I think I see

A coke and smile

I will walk

a million miles

just for a coke,

and smile.

My DNA is from the Scots 

Legacy of 6 generations of women sit on the piano.

The music from the isles of Scotland 

plays in my veins, carrying the rhythm of the past.

Giving me the song of promise.

Let me dance with echo’s, let me sing with voices.

Reminding me to not let them down.

They cried, they laughed, and they lived in hope.

It is in that hope they bore the tides of their wombs.

Rushing onto the promises of tomorrow, 

the slipping sands grip into the current of time.

I share the apron of hope to the beauty left behind.
