Edna always remembered this birthday, recalling Mother’s joy at finding out of season lemons to make her favorite lemon cake.

She stroked faded faces immortalized on the precious photograph, that documented the last time she and her sisters were together.

Her gnarled fingers clutched the memory to her breast, and she knew the sisters would soon be reunited.

Life runs at a frantic pace, constant demands keep us busy, busy, busy.

Perpetual motion, no time to think, only act, react, rinse and repeat.

Exhausted, all reserves spent, time expires as we collapse, with no goals met.

They said it couldn’t be done, an impossibility as time advances, forever moving forward.

The order nodded, content to allow the masses to wallow in their comfort, in their ignorance.

Those Enlighted stood, mesmerized as time’s mirror image fooled them all.

We bucked tradition, ignored the gossip, the ridicule and censure.

We predicted difficulties on our chosen road, anticipated storms, expected ostracization, and lonely times without friends.

Boldly we moved forward, confident in our mutual trust, believing in the constant love that shaped our world.

The thrill of the hunt and the adrenaline spike fueled Belle’s shopping frenzy.

She carried her new treasures home dropping the bags in a heap by the door.

Alone in her cluttered home, Belle sank onto the couch feeling as if she was still missing something.

Stacks upon stacks of books accumulated, collected, hoarded in the quest of knowledge.

Formats change, culling the best, the rest released into the wild.

The quest became more focused, the never-ending search for the forgotten truths.

Early morning workouts and long practice hours leave little time for friends, or family, or fun.

But the Dream burns inside of you, a dream others don’t understand.

Sacrifices fade, every obstacle was worthwhile, when gravity’s bonds are broken, and you fly.

Andre watched his friends, as one by one they grasped at love, and while some floated away in a blissful cloud, others crashed, burning brightly.

Timid and afraid, Andre stood, his feet firmly planted on the ground, as he listened to their tales of ecstasy and despair.

One fateful day, Andre saw a beautiful heart and without thinking he leaped, grasping and clinging to the heart, he hoped for paradise and knew he had changed his life forever.

A faint warble penetrates the frozen windowpane and evokes memories of gentler days.

Days devoid of blistering cold with winds that test my resolve as they sling snowflake barbed insults.

The sweet song of summer is not my imagination, for in the barren feeder sits the harbinger of Spring.

There are devils standing to the left and to the right, I feel their cold despair and know their soul desire is to tear my world apart.

There are voices in the sky, saying on you I can rely, but their words are only lies.

They are the thieves that stole my heart, robbed me of your love, and now the thieves rule the temple tonight.
