a glimmer that abides,
fragile threads holding steady
against the weight of night.
or how heavy the frost,
a quiet glow endures,
a beacon in our blizzard lost.
and doubts that creep,
this light persists, a gentle flame,
whispering of hope and dreams
that dance within the heart's domain.
it pulses with an inner truth,
a sacred rhythm beneath the silence,
an eternal light that will not fade.
when darkness threatens to steal the day,
remember this: the light is there,
a quiet promise that won’t betray.
still shine with ancient, silent might,
reflecting in our human shroud
the essence of enduring light.
a spark of purity still remains,
an echo of the cosmic whole,
that guides us through joy and pains.
and fear, so beguiling in its cold refrain,
know this truth, both old and strong:
there's light that always shall remain.
Be well and make the most of this day.

Poetry should move us, it should change us, it should glitch our brains, shift our moods to another frequency. Poetry should evoke feelings of melancholy, whimsy, it should remind us what it feels like to be in love, or cause us to think about something in a completely different way. I view poetry, and all art really, as a temporary and fragile bridge between our world and a more pure and refined one. This is a world we could bring into creation if enough of us believed in it. This book is ephemera, destined to end up forgotten, lingering on some dusty shelf or tucked away in a dark attic. Yet the words, they will live on in memory. I hope these words become a part of you, bubble up into your memory when you least expect them to and make you feel a little more alive.
Pick up a copy of Ephemera today on Amazon.
Most of us have experienced a moment of perfect peace at least once in our lives. In these moments we lose ourselves and feel connected to everything. I call these mindful moments. Words can’t describe how complete they make us feel.
These moments are usually fragile, evaporating in seconds. What if there was a way to train your mind to experience more of them? It’s deceptively easy and requires nothing more than a subtle shift in mindset. My new book, Mindful Moments, will teach you to be much more content despite the chaos and imperfect circumstances continuing to unfold around you. Upgrade your life experience today for only $15.99 on Amazon.com.
Let’s Keep In Touch
A hopeful poem! There is always a light, though small as the flame of a match or candle, there is always a light. An inner light that is what allows us to stand firm in the face of winter or possible darkness. It is that tiny light that energizes us and guides us when we are disoriented. A beautiful poem on this last Sunday of January. Hope the weather is better for you. Many hugs, my friend!
Thank you! That glimmer of hope is what carries us through the depths of winter here in Minnesota! Lol. The weather forecast is showing it getting a little warmer every day this week but I know that's just a tease. The warmer temps probably won't start to solidify until late April or early May but we'll take whatever we can get. The solitude of winter is good for my writing. : ) I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and week ahead Nancy!
Same to you, my friend. Take care of yourself and wrap up warm
I know you didn't get to be in there the whole time, but do you feel like your new home made the darkest days of winter a little more manageable? I saw you post on Facebook the other day. I had already started to notice that the days were getting longer again.
The new house definitely has made winter more bearable. There's so much more light here. Our condo only had two west-facing windows and those windows had UV coating on them so essentially we got zero Vit-D/UV from the sun during the winter. Once I notice the a little more daylight each day I feel so much better. I can feel the intensity of the sun getting stronger also.
That is good. Hopefully it doesn't get too bad in the summer. We have our deck on the west side of our house and on summer evenings it is almost too hot to sit out there. I really wish I would have had the money to have them build a canopy when they built the deck. I screwed up on that one!
I hope not either! Most of our windows face North and East so we should escape most of the peak sunshine in spring/summer.
Have you considered one of these?

We’re thinking about having one installed over the deck.
Oh yeah, you are going to be perfect! Our bedroom is on the East side of the house, so we can't escape the morning no matter how hard we try sometimes! I have looked at those, but I am not sure there is enough of a header above our sliding door to actually install it.
I hope so! The utility bill history doesn't look too crazy in the summer for the property. I think we'll end up doing a retractable awning or a pergola.
That is cool. We used to have a pergola on our deck before the tree branch fell and crushed it. I'm not sure it made a difference inside the house, but it definitely made it a bit cooler on the deck.
They have started to shine before us and will contimue to do so after us 😉
Beautiful poetry, life is indeed a web of events that shape us constantly from moment to moment. Thanks for sharing this wonderful work ...
Thank you!
The stars above, though veiled by clouds,
still shine with ancient, silent might,
reflecting in our human shroud
the essence of enduring light.
