Shards
“It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning.” — Vincent Van Gogh Vincent saw swirling stars and moonlight rolling like waves before resting upon the inky mountains, and tonight I see a line of trees just outside my draped pane, and the passing light awakens myContinue reading “Shards”
In the Land of Daisies
“A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson. I remember June afternoons when I was five, I would stretch out on cool grass, imagine myself a giant waking in a land of slim, green people wearing bright, funny hats — oh, those long & glorious days of childhood. —C.L. Fisher, April 2022Continue reading “In the Land of Daisies”
My Mind Aflutter
I saw an angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. — Michelangelo I saw a butterfly, wings just opening near the lacy leaves, but then I was plunged deep underwater, gliding through the reefs behind a graceful angelfish — I thought only clouds could morph so easily, and then this brown-eyed,Continue reading “My Mind Aflutter”

Maybe no promise, but I can find a snowy glade, ascend a white-topped mountain, meander a frosty forest filled with flocked ChristmasContinue reading “Snow Dreaming”

There are certain half-dreaming moods of mind in which we naturally steal away from noise and glare, and seek some quiet haunt where we may indulge our reveries and build our air castles undisturbed. – Washington Irving I can see beloved faces, trace each precious line, follow each curve,… I can hear laughter, feel aContinue reading “If I’m Still…”
Awaiting Dreams
She waits for dreams, closing her eyes and attending as her mind replays the day, releasing a long sigh as images with snippets of conversations slowly roll by, and then she prays over faces she remembers, settles her heart just as waves of weariness carry her into a heavy desire for sleep, so she relaxesContinue reading “Awaiting Dreams”
Retreats
“Do you know what I think Mayflowers are, Marilla? I think they must be the souls of the flowers that died last summer, and this is their heaven.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables A mighty peace I carry, images stitched together one memory at a time, calm places I go to when everythingContinue reading “Retreats”
