An Early Spring

 


Nothing like an early Spring to make you shake off the frost and head outside to see those early morning rays of the Sun.

Things pretty much remain green here in the Blue Ridge with the Pines and Grasses.  The Oak, Maple, Poplar and Dogwoods remain bare for a little longer.

Looking forward to completing my fourth in the Legend of the Mer series.

Thank you for being patient with me while I finish Will's story.

Happy Spring 💮

Song of the Coyotes


Song of the Coyotes 

Each night I lay my head down

Deep in the Winter chill

I hear a sound beginning which starts as a lonely shrill

It soon becomes a song with a high pitched two-tone

A few join in to say you're not alone

Several more add their voices high and strong

Now all the woods are singing the Coyotes song

It's a sweet sound to me and soon I drift off with the tune

I dream of them singing together beneath the Winter moon

The Coyotes are Guardians of the highest ridge top

May their wild song continue and never stop

I pray God will keep them safe and forever free

May they always sing their Coyotes song to others and to me

Winter Musings


 



Winter Musings

Some days are ordinary
Some extraordinary
Some bleak
Some spectacular
I suppose life is like that
You never know what to expect
Just when I think the sun is gone
And the spark with it
Comes a new snow day
With it's soft billowy snowflakes
Some days it's quiet
Except for the laughter of children
Some nights are filled with mist
All the worlds asleep
Other nights the storm rages
With whipping wind
The torrents of ice mixed in
Bangs hard against my window
And I'm awake
I pray
I sleep
A new day dawns 
How marvelous it is
