Night Unfolds

i have no memory
of times now flown
memory is veiled
or covered ‘oer

life’s brilliant moments
have yet to arrive
to grace my path
as an incoming tide

colors gold, silver, copper
unnoticed and diffused
grace other lives
a parsimonious ruse

days are now dark
running all together
as flocks of crows
amassing black feathers

caress filtered light of day
plaintive cries of my soul
blind of what i cannot see
another winter night unfolds

Blog of The Year Award 2012

I want to thank Becca for considering me for this award. I’ve not gotten many of these and if someone is gracious enough to consider what I do on my site worthy of recognition than I should feel fortunate enough to receive it. I am blessed to know her and so many other gifted people from all over the world. I have listed here the people I would like to pass this award along to. Some may already have it but can simply add a star to the spot where is already noted. It is an honor.  You can visit Becca here at  http://beccagivens.wordpress.com

This award originated with the Thought Palette.

I have some sites here I want to acknowledge and as I have said, if they already have been chosen, then they can simply add a star to the award initially given.

As with most awards there are a few rules BUT unlike most awards you are encouraged to give to other bloggers even if they already have the award posted.

â– Do you know a blog that deserves an award?
â– Do you have special blogs that you love to read?
â– Which blogs do you bookmark and follow?

The ‘rules’ for this award are simple:
1.
Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award

2.
Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and ‘present’ them with their award.

3.
Please include a link back to this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award – http://thethoughtpalette.co.uk/our-awards/blog-of-the-year-2012-award/ and include these ‘rules’ in your post (please don’t alter the rules or the badges!)

4.
Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them

5.
You can now also join our Facebook group – click ‘like’ on this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Facebook group and then you can share your blog with an even wider audience

6.
As a winner of the award – please add a link back to the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars.

Yes – that’s right – there are stars to collect!

Which means that you can check out your favorite blogs – and even if they have already been given the award by someone else – you can still bestow it on them again and help them to reach the maximum 6 stars!

with bright color
perches atop the
railing of a porch
standing still
not moving
no wind with which
to make it spin

Dance With Angels

beside your photo she dances
a tiny figurine of a girl
she twirls ’round showing
how much she loves to dance
reminding me of you as
now you dance with angels

I was reminded that January 17th it is five years to the day that mom left but is really never gone. I love that she is yet another angel in my life.
