We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
"Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement.
One fails forward toward success."
C. S. Lewis


"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen:
not only because I see it,
but because by it I see everything else."

C. S. Lewis




“I have come home at last!
This is my real country!
I belong here.
This is the land
I have been looking for all my life,
though I never knew it till now...
Come further up, come further in!”
― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”


J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring


“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

Patchwork words form the poetry of my heart.
Slivers of peppermint coat letters galore.
Cotton candy falls to the ground, rains start
as steaks of hope are carved to make us more.

Orange juice seeps from the breakfast orb
illuminating blooms as glory lights.
Poetry, it anchors near the shore
to paddle in and kiss the diamonds bright.

Aroma wafts from coffee's flaming mug.
Verse by verse I nibble cookie rhymes.
Gentle thoughts on chocolate syrup tug
to build my poem with great spices prime.

"Dance, ye rhythms, 'pon some quatrain's milk,
then dive within the pool of wordy foam.
Make the bliss of thought from smoothest silk
to carry me in tasty dreams of home."

My poetry can be the grandest cake,
or be so bland at times we chew it not,
but when the senses rise to fully bake
the new things learned are tastebuds wondrous taught.
