A Little Preview

On By Piano girl4 Comments

Sharing two poems from my upcoming collection, The Space Between Clouds! Release date March 15,2026!

IN THE CLOUDS

Posed on a calm
quiet breeze
or shouted
in frantic storms
The question remains the same

Do you see me?

My soul longs
to slow down
to be still
Locking my eyes on
The whole of you

Do you see me?

Recognizing the purpose
provided in your design
whether serene or inclement
Answering your question
as you answer mine

Yes! There you are! I see you!

SMILING BLUE

A patch of baby blue
cheerfully smiled,
Good morning
A welcomed greeting
following recent gray
heavy-mist days

Even the sun
attempted a greeting
but its rays produced only
a white glow behind
the lingering clouds-
An overcast day lay ahead

One glance in the rearview
and there was that smiling
patch of baby blue
reminding me of you-
Your smile, even in passing
always a welcomed sight

Forever remaining close
Even if the day is long
Even if the day is gloomy
Even if I’m simply wishing
for more time with you

Imprints

The essence of its spirit,
elegant and strong,
left an imprint in the
afternoon clouds

I must have missed
Its graceful flight

Even the breeze was
unable to diminish the
wondrous wingspan or
stifle the sense of awe
captured by the clouds

Only as my journey ended
and I turned toward home,
did the image dissipate,
leaving delicate feathers
to float above the horizon

One enduring message-
Though no longer visible,
my spirit remains nearby-
Only close your eyes
and open your heart

“…but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40‬:‭31‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Hold My Hand

On By Piano girlLeave a comment

Days when the sun and clouds
clasp hands in such a way
It is nearly impossible to
distinguish billows from blues

Sunlight, bright and warm,
shines on, around, and
through layers of clouds,
stirring imagination-

Today was such a day

After grabbing my attention,
and coaxing a smile, my
thoughts shifted to the
reason for their beauty

The simple sharing of space-
Each taking their turn to
enlighten, offer shade,
or shine a spotlight

Days when we clasp hands
In such a way, it is nearly
Impossible to distinguish
Your heart from mine

Graceful Drifting

On By Piano girl8 Comments

Driving away, I saw you
in my rearview mirror.
I wanted to keep looking,
to appreciate and study.
But that was not possible.

Watching the road and all.

So, I smiled, taking note
of your blue feathers
and gentle waves.
Your perfect placement
in the afternoon sky.
I would do my best
to remember, making sure
my eyes remained on the road.

Until I changed direction
and your position shifted.
Gracefully, you drifted,
from behind me,
to be beside me, and finally
directly in front of me.
I followed you all
The Way Home- Grateful

Dispersed

On By Piano girl6 Comments

A battle between
light and dark
waged across the
morning sky.

Clouds shifted in
the swirling wind,
tilting the earth,
causing me to wobble.

I felt confused.

For a moment, darkness
appeared victorious,
blocking the light,
lessening its powerful pull.

But light remained,
rays now dispersed.
An influence
so far-reaching, the
horizon glowed a
reassuring golden hue.

Just then, I remembered
yesterday’s rainbow, and
how the sky glowed
following its fading.

Photos from friends, family, and a few of my own. 💙🧡❤️

Graceful arms propel her forward
Legs gently float behind
Feet periodically kick-
Not forceful, only enough
to maintain momentum

Where is she heading?

Storm clouds line the horizon
She’s passed through them before
Impossible to avoid-
And time, impossible to control

The bright sun warms her face
Grace holds her heart
Mercy lifts her soul
Momentum is maintained

Perhaps the question is not
where she is headed
but instead, how she
sustains a spirit of peace

Saying Thank You

A gaggle of geese
flying overhead in
perfect formation

A formation of clouds
branching out across
the sky at sunrise

The branches of a tree
securely holding leaves
until their time to fall

Your hand holding mine
filling the empty spaces
between my fingers

Images comparable
in angle and purpose-
open and strong

Unexpected gifts
healing my heart
with their presence

Fingerprints

On By Piano girl3 Comments

From our very first reach,
we leave lasting imprints
Tiny fingers, tiny toes
unaware of the enduring
impact engraved on
all who hold us close

Choice eventually becomes
part of the equation-
Deciding if what we leave behind
is positive, helpful, encouraging,
or cynical, hurtful, disheartening

Each imprint is personal
an identifying set of
lines and ridges
creating a pattern-
Sacred responsibility
held in every touch

I saw such a fingerprint
in the afternoon clouds-
Lines and ridges
creating a pattern
belonging to the one
who holds the sky

Enduring Imprint

On By Piano girl4 Comments

The sky was dark
except for a few stars
and distant street lights
I watched in amazement
as the space station
flew overhead

It soared like an
undying meteorite
moving in slow motion

My eyes followed
its path until a swath
of mysterious white rays
painted on the horizon
blocked it from view

Had sun rays carved
an evening cloud bank
into evenly spaced beams?
The sun had long since
disappeared from my
little corner of the world

Long out of sight, yes
but its impact remained
quietly reminding me
of the enduring imprint
etched into my once
stilled heart by the
light of lasting Love

Forward

Clouds could not contain
its brightness-squinting
I looked only long enough
to snap two photographs

Side by side, the difference
was slow to appear, slight
adjustment of time, seconds,
but a revelation for eternity

Closer to the light than
I could ever hope to be
flying across the sky
wings spread wide and free

Light held in clouds
yet, bright enough
to carry him forward
into the hope of his future
