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. Â You can follow me @Vjknutson. Â 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 […]
Armed with plans and guidelines, we ready for life’s climb, unaware that childhood, untamed and intact, takes the lead.
I am seeing thistle here where I am in Florida, as well…I was a little surprised..we have them in Kansas. After the hurricane here in the gulf, some have reported finding sunflowers popping up. I’m wondering if they came with some of the different crews that came and went. Could have also been from bird feeders, I guess.

I think the whole ecosystem was changed by the hurricanes. We’ve heard mumblings about things that are different.

Beautiful image of the thistle. It would make a nice notebook cover. My books arrived today. They are beautiful and the quality seems really good, bindings seem solid. Can’t wait to start writing in them!

Oh good! I’ve been wondering. I want to order some too, but have spent too much already, lol. Would they make good gifts though? Good idea about the thistle.
