Soft, the day’s fading light, hushed, the manic pace – my heart’s rhythm lulled beats a nostalgic melody – love’s memories bittersweet. (Tuesdays, I post a poem from Twitter. You can follow me @Vjknutson. Image from personal collection.)
Cocooned, I am enclosed, secure shut down Ignore initial stirring – like a skipped heartbeat Convinced this retreat is cemented Have had enough life too harsh soul too sensitive and yet, there it is again – gathering momentum uninvited sensations, emotions morphing into words commanding expression growing wings, battering my barriers flocking towards light poems […]

These are some gorgeous photos V.J.! Arizona is one of those “bucket list” places for me. I would love to visit some of those beautiful slot canyons that I always see pictures of. Hope you’re doing well. Hugs!

I hope you have the opportunity to do that! I was in Phoenix once to visit some friends when we were in the military, but it was a short visit so we didn’t get to do any traveling around enjoying the sights, and Phoenix was pretty flat, if I remember correctly. It was a long time ago…. 😁
