‘Twas the best of the betters
The coveted spot
In the field,
Where the corn rose in sunshine
And worms did not stay
Concealed.
He fought hard for the privilege,
Beak and claws he had
To wield.
As the count of days rose
His calls echoed less
Even keeled.
Yet he hoped that the home
He’d claimed for her
Still appealed.

Come and play
In the snowdrifts
And the cold
Will not bite
We are warmer
Together
And will sleep well
Tonight.
Note: No filter was used. This is the original photo of the colors that day.

“Why would anyone choose this tomb?”
Sally’s voice ricocheted in the clearing. I felt my face flush and dug my nails into my palms to keep from responding.
“I realize they don’t need light, but what do they have against air?”
“They’re blind, you know, not deaf,” Mark noted dryly. I could’ve kissed him.
Sally shrugged. She leaned forward and slapped the wall. “Thick walls. I bet they’re as good as.”
“Or not.”
Sally boomeranged off the wall as if electrocuted.
A hand waved out of an arrow slit, two inches from her waist.
I grinned.
“Come right in. Dinner’s ready.”

There is no need to sneak
Or take the long way around
You’re invited to step on
The green grassy ground.
Such a lovely reminder
That lawns are to be used
It’s a warm friendly offer
That I shall not refuse!

Please be there
For the hope
For the plans.
Please be there
For the trials and the errors
The triumphs
The sorrows
The fumbles
The sighs.
Please be there
For the small things
The bigger,
Stay dialed in
To moments long gone,
To those still to come.
Please be there
In awareness, in person,
Pay full mind
To this life.
To your life’s
Invitation.
You are one of a kind.
