A Post a Day July 2014 Number Fourteen

Three Facebook pages on writing, a post a day on each for the month of July, combined and posted here as well.

Small Stone, July 2014, Fourteenth


In the wee hours, just before daybreak - Grandmother Moon  still keeping watch.

July Writing Project - A Poem a Day - Day Fourteen 


on these days 
when the raw - unfiltered - 
grit of life 
rubs the salt of tears into
the shredded heart 
that was on my sleeve

(now how did it end up there?)

your quiet gaze
unassuming ways
are a cooling - refreshing - 
balm

your gentle caress when my
body is curled up in distress
unwinds the tensions - fears -
wisp away into the air

this is why love
does not say enough
of the how, the why
we are us

She followed me home last night
Lighting my mountain road
