Sometimes when feelings
Cover me like rain
A rainbow appears
Rainstorm with rainbow to the right. Light on distant mountain. Low bushes

Early morning frost
Leaves sparkle in the sun
Fireplace beckons
Dried leaves sparkling with frost, in sandy soil

Winding through desert
The river is lifegiving
And destructive
Desert river with pointed butte. Sunset with some orange clouds at the horizon. Rocks in the foreground.

Withered grass
Colder nights
Wild and resilient

(Love these beautiful wild horses 🐎 ❤️)

Sunset melody
A harmony of colors
Music in the sky
Sunset with purple clouds and yellow/pink horizon. Silhouetted trees some with leaves and some without leaves.

Untamed thoughts spread
Through the corners of my mind
Time to let them go
Leafless trees in the blue hour at sunset

When I learn
To hold my heart gently
With tenderness
And ensure it is safe

When I no longer tolerate shame, neglect,
Or disrespect
Then I will truly know
How to love 💕

Surrounded by beauty
Grateful and at peace

When I'm feeling stuck
Getting lost in the wilderness
To find myself again
Stream through a rocky canyon. Reflection of trees in the water

Integrity fading
Losing justice and empathy
Country in crisis

A single lantern
Honoring your life
How much I still miss you
