2011's Setting Sun

it was in the glamour of the setting sun
colors calming
light enlivening
a year coming to an end

she opened to absorb all the colors of a passing year
spheres of insight rose within and around her
2012 a new beginning 

she will bring her heart fully
as she steps gently 

yet deeply
wings rising
vision flowing
and growing
for peace love and freedom
for all
welcome 2012

Ms. Apricot

she closed her eyes

inhaled the frosty air of winter

then opened her eyes wide 

to take in the huge expanse of stars in the dark new moon sky

she had no choice but to be herself

honor the facets of truth as they rose and changed form

for her twin soul was housed in an ice crystal

a crystal that beamed to her a unique light 

as she moved to the left 

or moved to the right in her life

the facets of that light inspired her every move

Tis Christmas Eve Day

The mail has just arrived!

Jeri Lander had a contest on her blog: Hopalong Hollow Gazette

I won a beautiful Santa in his Sleigh print!
I hope you can see all the charming details, because it overflows with geese, elves, cabins and a fox. 
A gorgeous star and moon sleigh filled with old fashioned toys!

Jeri writes and illustrates gorgeous children's books, 
treat yourself to a visit to her blog!
Thank you Jeri, I love your gift!

Fashionable Gal

 

she's a fashionable gal

full of grace and style

moves a bit like deer

uses windows like a mirror

heads do turn

inspiring hearts to burn

in the end we know

that her beauty is more than show

for grace flows

from our hearts to the edges of our light

and...

I love it when stars fall from the sky
piling 
one upon another 
making the world white!

from my heart to yours


Happy Holidays to each of you!

Snowflakes

winter maiden

snowflakes dance

golden hair 

like autumn's grass

tender heart

opens to blue and white

seasons grace may shed some light

She Walked the Land

walking the earth

through towns and land

walking stick knew the way

when she held it in her hand

aura in golds

and rusty reds 

she walked the way

of the older clans

~

I have taken to making small pieces of art. 

 I love how I can begin and complete a piece in the evening.
