Hi friends. It’s been a while. I’ve had this post in draft for months but decided it was probably time to hit publish. If you’re here for poetry or a short story, a book review or something uplifting, I’m afraid you came on the wrong day. I’m here for a rant. Fair warning: this post [...]
What a beautiful thing, To know that, even when we wake to grey And the pitter patter of rain that kicks up Petrichor into the air, The sun is right there Behind the clouds Shining down on us and just Waiting For its moment To be seen.
Dust motes float in the sunlight pouring through the leaded windows,And the clink of cup on saucer and the gentle murmer of hushed conversationLayer a soft soundtrack over my thoughts.Words don’t always come easyAnd when they doSome are strange and some just don’t Say what they meanWhen they leave my fingers to land on the page,Like [...]
