Lately, I’ve been reading your stories
been softly directed over bridges
and through long corridors.
Trapped for the night,
the walls of the Red Room
are hidden in darkness,
we reach for the match
again and again.
I want to stretch my arms
out over the veil.
Lately, I’ve been reading your stories.
They come to me on darkened streets,
invite me to dance and become lost under their spells.
Ghosts, I implore you,
step into my story,
and together we will tell it,
anew!
Under the sunshine or in the fog: I am a lover, a writer, an editor, a cook, a humanitarian and a photographer.

Some things are more important than time ... cats are one of them. Welcome to a world of photographed shadows--I invite you to a study of compassion through poetry. It is with gratitude that you might take it with you.

Watches beside me in this windy place.
