We dance in the waves you and I
Marking time as our glances embrace
I see you
You’re beautiful when you smile.

When I look towards the sky
All of me reflected right back
Warmth radiates against my face
The quiet from beyond
Embracing
An invitation of sorts
To see clearly
All that I am
Shining through
All I knew and all I know
Never was true
Sometimes you gotta tap dance
Come back round for more
Before you take a few steps back
And finally close a door
Learned about another part
How I caused a broken heart
Now I’m sitting in those shoes
Guess I need to evaluate
Contemplate
Feel the sting
And apologize
Cause nothing beautiful can come forth from me
Until I know where my stockings are.
Sticky sweet
Mr. Urban
Delicious, melodic goodness
THE SPEED OF SOUND
Has found me
Flowing smoothly as your voice smiles
Over and over again
Fragile little me
Broken
Blurred vision across a cloudy smile
You
Everywhere
I miss you
Unraveled it cannot be undone
Dreaming
Your hand across mine
Woke
Shared moment with the beautiful sky
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
Came to me
Happiness is not a person, place or thing.
It’s a feeling, a state of being
Choosing it
Fill me up.
We only get one
I’m so happy you were mine
The loss never fades
But remembrance is bliss
Hold you close to my heart
Always
Every day you are missed.
(Love you Mom)
Today he told me, so I told him…..
The heaviness of it all sat on our tongues for a brief moment.
And then just as quickly the telling broke free at the pace of a child running outside for recess when the bell has rung.
He stayed on course.
I drifted direction some.
Silence followed
Cicadas humming amongst the trees soothed our souls as we sat together and took in the smell of a moonless night.
Be still
Hold on
Believe……
Mark time
Be strong
Conceive…..
Change course
Wander
Breathe……
Waste not
Want not
BE…….
The soft blue sea winks at me
The keeper of a thousand truths
Come out and play she seems to say
As I cover naked eyes from the sun
Warm sand on feet growing hotter
Sweat beneath my brow
“Tickle me with your toes”, she whispers
Delightedly, I comply
For who can resist her sweet little kiss on a fabulous day in July
Tiffin and Michigan Land
After the War of 1812, the federal government conducted surveys of land to be used for military bounties in parts of the Northwest Territory for soldiers who fought in the war. Each soldier to be given 160 acres. Edward Tiffin, Surveyor General for the Northwest, issued a letter dated November 30, 1815, to Josiah Meigs, Commissioner of the General Land Office, in which he reported unfavorable conditions in the Michigan Territory describing the land as “so bad that there would not be more than one acre out of a hundred, if there would be one out of a thousand, that would in any case admit of cultivation.”
