Today is my birthday. Earlier, I took myself for a wander, and figured I’d write a few words to paint the moment into something tangible.
Newness in being, I walk.
Hummingbird sings by.
Breeze kisses leaves.
Sky deepens to dusk.
Old thoughts circle:
Twin vines named
Lonely and Longing.
I cut through them.
New faces form.
A fresh adventure grows
Itself in my imagination.
A love affair with my muse.
The mountain hides the sun.
Cool creep the shadows.
I stride down the hill,
In gratitude, and grace.
Original Writing by Katrina Ariel.
I’ve got a new WIP (work in progress) underway in the manuscript department, so I’m on a writer’s high as my characters reveal themselves to me and the plot drops bits and pieces into my brain at a time. That’s likely how I’ll spend the rest of my birthday. ;)
Hope you enjoyed the poem. Thanks for reading!
Whatever happens, keep singing your song!
Peace. @katrina-ariel
Photos mine. The top one isn't recent, but I like it, and it fits the poem.

Happy Birthday! It's a really cool deal that I got the gift of your poem for your day. Thank you.
A love affair with my muse. That line sorta makes me jealous. If I could catch my elusive little asshat I thump his ass and feed the pieces to Sam. He'll come back, he always does. Just not now.
Wishing you a great day and a years worth of happy unbirthdays to go with it.
And you wonder why he's avoiding you.
😂
Ha! You're hilarious. I think your muse is with you, just hiding. ;)
A very merry unbirthday to you. Thank you for the lovely comment.
Happy birthday dear @katrina-ariel. I wish you all the best and a wonderful sunny day! :-)
Thank you very much. :)
Happy Birthday!
Thanks so much!
Happy 25th!
now, it's legal for you to rent a car!
HA! Right. ;)
Also, thank you. :)
I love this! Great metaphor. Bloody circling thoughts! Lonely and longing - I hope you aren't? xx
Ah, only always. Okay, maybe not always. ;) It was a lovely walk, though. 💖
Oh I do recall that feeling. I'm either numb or content these days. Maybe both. It'll change and pass. Xx
