In the hush of winter’s morning, when the air was crisp and bright,Athena stretched with elegance, her eyes mismatched in light.Beside her sat Obito, all fluff and joyful cheer,His goofy grin announcing, “Christmas time is here!”Athena trotted gracefully, a Princess on patrol,While Obito bounded clumsily, a walking, talking soul.She leapt across the furniture like a … Continue reading “Princess Pants and Mr Toe Beans Christmas Tale.”
Poem
Please let there be a heaven.
Please let there be a heaven,Somewhere soft beyond the sky,Where the ones I’ve lost are waitingAnd the tears I hide can finally dry.Please let there be a doorwayWhere the hurt can fall away,Where the memories don’t trembleAnd the grief has nothing left to say.Because my heart still reaches for themIn the quiet of the night,And … Continue reading Please let there be a heaven.

One eye the color of sky, the other warm as chestnut bark,a sunrise and a hearth held together in a … Continue reading Fogbound Frosty Walks.
“Dear Dad, On Your 75th Birthday”
It’s been twenty-eight long, aching years Since I last saw your face through tears, Yet today, on what should be your day, My heart still finds so much to say.You’d be seventy-five, can you believe? It’s hard to picture, harder to grieve. A life that time won’t let me know, A future we lost so … Continue reading “Dear Dad, On Your 75th Birthday”
“In the Depths of Duty”
In the belly of steel, where the fires burned bright, Samuel Solomon Williams worked through the night. With shovel in hand, and sweat on his brow, He fed the great engines, without asking how. Beneath all the glamour, below decks so deep, He labored in silence, while others would sleep. The heat of the furnace, … Continue reading “In the Depths of Duty”
“Eternal Vigil”
In the hush of night when shadows weave, A gentle spirit sighs, reluctant to leave, With whispers soft as a lover’s breath, I linger here, beyond the veil of death. Through the moonlit window, my gaze does fall, On the ones I cherished, the ones I call, Their laughter echoes in the quiet air, Yet … Continue reading “Eternal Vigil”
