i love this little spot of earth
beneath this little patch of sky
the way the green leaves
shimmer and shine
in the morning light
the cacophonous symphony
of happy crickets
serenading
the summer night
time is short,
this place was never mine.
but i can still go back there
in my mind
where it is safe
and young
feel the cool delta breeze
blanketing my shoulders
the cracked cobblestone pavement
radiating the day's forgotton heat
on my feet

A New Beginning
Tony couldn’t sit still, crossing and uncrossing his legs, trying to calm his trembling hands as Clara stood at the office window deep in thought. The airline ticket in his shirt pocket moved to the beat of his heart¬– each beat bringing back the nightmare causing memories of the words he’d spoken over ten years ago. Thanks to Clara he’d finally gained the courage to buy that ticket.
