When I Look Into The Warm Glow Of The Christmas Fire

Survival
The cat kept crawling ahead. Its ears angled back for a streamlined attack. The whiskers feeling the way through the long grassy patch. The hypnotic blinking by the feline hunter put the prey in a daze. Stuck in a hypnotic trance, the prey lost its chance. The feline launching from its haunches easily pinned the prey. With caterwauling fully ensued it was no time at all that the prey was subdued. With a swat of the paws and teeth in its neck, that's all it took, as the prey shook and shook. Now let me tell you what happened next. The feline and prey started to play. It was a mamma and cub,from the same family or club. Teaching survival and hunting for food. The feline again had scampered away. Only to hunt her cub from yet another way.

Create a portrait where I smile while I weep
A Portrait of Tears and Smiles Create a portrait where I smile while I weep, Let sorrow be expressed, but not as a spectacle to keep.

You’ll never return, I had to say
You’ll never return, I had to say, You went far away, as I searched each day. For centuries, in valleys, I waited for you, You came for a moment, smiled, then I searched anew.

Snow, Sledding, Snow Snakes, Santa, Serenity
Years ago, when I was just a child. Spending time with cousins was wild. We went sledding on an old car hood. Some of us stood.

Shadows of adultery
Once a teenager, but not anymore. Once vibrant, all went away. Changes to adulthood happened. Shadows of adultery took over her life.
