You hold a sunrise, the edges and brightness of orange and mellowness of a lavender awakening to plum; your arms outstretch in perfect white light, you are nested in the most vibrant green — an entire arboretum I could walk through again and again, if only I had more hours to amble and get lostContinue reading “Cape Daisy”

A Silence
We cannot hear the light, the casting of shadows or the rays that follow fair morning’s rise; it lifts from slumber and settles in a silence beyond quiet, startling in the thunderous hush of a shaft of splendor that takes our breath away as the world declares the clearing of night and dawning brilliance inContinue reading “A Silence”
Sanctuary
Home is the nicest word there is. — Laura Ingalls Wilder The ache for home lives in all of us. — Maya Angelou You sigh in the evenings, long releases, chimes that mark the twilight hours, you hold memory, years of living that show in each scar from aging, you are so familiar that evenContinue reading “Sanctuary”
A Melody
…His compassions do not fail. —Lamentations 3:22 When I am lost, wandering the hard terrain of pain in this world or trapped within the mumbling maze of my own despair, even when my words fail and only grumblings and moanings escape, any prayer, however ineloquent, becomes a melody, beautiful in the surrendered- knowing that God Continue reading “A Melody”
A Lonely Grasshopper
What did you think as you starred at me, withstood my daring move to edge ever closer? I was sure you would jump, startle my focused composure, watch as I tumbled over innocent daisies and disturbed the bees, who had been so kind not to sting, but you posed, sat and looked right at me,Continue reading “A Lonely Grasshopper”
A World in Wishes
Winds move through, parts of me leave, caught and dispersed as I watch, sun glinting on bright tips, my eyes straining as the sun sets, the delicate strands held aloft before a current carries each to the far place of memory. —C.L. Fisher, July 2021 Unless otherwise indicated, all writings and images are the workContinue reading “A World in Wishes”
Such Weariness
Exhaustion – used up, tired out, drained of strength, emptied of vitality I have that kind of tired that hangs like weights on my face, makes words slur from my lips, muddies my mind in worries, so I close my eyes, imagine I’m painting daisies, or touring a library, or planning a garden, until, finally,Continue reading “Such Weariness”
A Wild Joy
Maybe I look half-crazed, kneeling down, waiting amid the greenery and dandelions, swaying as I try to focus…just a little closer, without alarming these airy, little creatures who finally seem to pose, appease the mad woman in the leaves; I wait as they dance and alight, swirl together and land, brushing my hand in aContinue reading “A Wild Joy”
Adrift
The rays drift in, finding enough space to gather together, form an angle of light, an island adrift that leaves the room cold in comparison. ….I sit, adjacent, dimmed by sunset, but my soul travels over, pools with the huddled warmth, and imagines the sun rising… tomorrow. —C.L. Fisher, July 2021 Unless otherwise indicated, allContinue reading “Adrift”
Delicate Wings
“Nature was one of the key forces that brought me back to God, for I wanted to know the Artist responsible for beauty… such as in the intricate designs on a butterfly wing.” – Philip Yancey Like a wisp of paper, these wings allow light to breathe through and lift this creature to sky, toContinue reading “Delicate Wings”
