A robust breeze lifts the pages
of my book. My fingers
hug the paper tighter, keeping
words readable. Voices - interjections -
from little people
excited about the grassy hill
and from big people
about "what they deserve"
blend with words from Amos,
he who creates the wind declares
to man what is his thought.
The warm sun balances
occasionally brisk air and I lie
back, close my eyes and rest.
Musings and creative pieces about those components which make up this mixture called LIFE

Untitled
By Cherie Black
The feathers of her hat
curled perfectly. Most stared;
others would reach
as if to touch
smile and return their hand to their sides.
No one
wore such extravagance
anymore. They hated
caring for it - all the special
instructions. It was
a headache and old
fashioned. Once
the quality of such hats
with intricate beads
exotic lace and delicate feathers
(like the one she donned)
was considered worth the time
and effort. Now
such hats were relics
used
only in performances.
But not for her.
She'd resisted the urge to conform
and proudly
carried her hat. She hoped
it would inspire
and remind onlookers
about beauty.
The world could benefit
from the shade of brims
and mystery
of covered heads.
of covered heads.
