What awaits you, in the wings

she found the most brilliant sparkle
across the infinite wonder
just right for the cheerful dreamer
lighting her eyes with a twinkle

skipping her heart with potential
telling her body to follow
toward joy, away from sorrow
from her hand, eternal love springs
trusting her dreams will grow strong wings
offering a bright tomorrow

Thank you for visiting and reading! I was going to share a leaving Puerto Peñasco video, that I had started working on a few weeks ago, before deciding I wasn’t quite ready to “leave” the weekend trip taken with my cousin, with more photos to work through, including this precious collection of a little girl tossing a pebble or shell into the waves. One of the many things I love about photography is capturing details not noticed in the rush of a traveling moment.

Hope y’all had a pleasant week and are enjoying the weekend. My week had its share of challenges, triumphs too, having made it through. That’s (the blessing of) life, right? Waking to a gorgeous Sonoran sunrise this Saturday morning – a soft pink transformed into a brilliant orange, bursting across the land – taking my breath away and flooding my senses with the gift of a new day. Warm regards. Michele

My poem follows the Espinela form; a Spanish poetic form with two stanzas and four end rhymes across ten lines. It’s named after the poet Vincente Espinel, who is credited with inventing it. Here are the guidelines:
• First stanza has four lines
• Second stanza has six lines
• Eight syllables per line
• Rhyme scheme is abba/accddc
