Beyond the horizon, the sea meets the sky, Waves whisper secrets the wind carries near. Beyond the horizon, where dreams dare to fly, The light bends softly, as day turns to sigh. Stars will awaken as darkness draws nigh, Waves whisper secrets the wind carries near. Beyond the horizon, the…

Beneath the hush of winter’s breath they glow, Brown jewels cradled in a paper cone, Chestnuts crackle softly, warm and slow, A fireside song in sparks and moan. Their skins split wide with sugared seams, Steam rising like a whispered prayer, Carrying childhood, bells, and dreams Through candlelight and frosted…

I sink in suds to let the worries fade, Warm water hums a lullaby of ease. The candlelight turns time to gentle shade. I sink in suds to let the worries fade. My breathing slows; the hurried mind is stayed, Soft bubbles bloom like drifting, drowsy seas. I sink in…
