January Simple Things

though January
sometimes wraps
with bitter cold
 

I choose
the simple things
bringing light
and love
to my soul

I choose
chocolate eyes




Billy’s snow covered nose
after snuffling
through the snow







I choose
the written word
pages crackly with age





sepia toned photographs
ancestors 


notes
loved one’s
 old school books
lovingly saved
passed down

by mother
a family
love
laughter
tears
giggles shared
hugs

from friends
both near
far
snuggles

Missy Hope
purring
on my lap

I choose
sunlight





on my shoulder
in my vision
the light of new day
a whisper

of angels
dancing through

pink clouds
with the wind
in the chimes
music

touching
every breath
of my being
embracing
emitting from my very
own vocal

chords
of love
hope
courage

spreading out
as angels
touch gentle
yet strong
through the world
its sadness

a word simple
yet not
 

console

  2. Hello, I am visiting you today in the wake of Christina's love. Thank you for this lovely list, so nicely composed ~ both the words and images! Chocolate brown eyes! My husband, daughter and one of my son's has them, and I get lost them in them all of the time!

  4. Lovely, lovely...we are just sitting here laughing about the difference in "snow" between Canada and New Mexico! Everyone is panicked at the 7 or 8 flakes falling here and when I try to tell them what real winter looks like...they look at me like I am speaking a foreign language! I'll show them your pictures!!! smooches

  5. Thanks for the visits and your shared words.

    Leau, I know what you mean. I suspect that New Mexico folk are not really accustomed to the white stuff. We actually hadn't received that much snow yet this winter until last weekend. And then it fell in heavy thick layers of whipped cream.
