Moon-bound

watery vowels
a sea filled with ancient tales
liquid sky arches
a horizon that unravels
waves prance, curling into
a bed of sand, like
blue irises promenading my steps
moana of gliding turquoise blossoms
ebb and flow to a meandering, pursuing moon ..

I walk into the flare of a lighthouse
a rush of salt on my breath

the sea the day I conquered my tears..

Risotto Tomato Basil

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Table Food: Risotto Tomato Basil! When the rice cooker is on the fritz, and you’re still craving risotto, try the next best thing.

Good People Doing Good Things — Mama Shu

Filosofa's Word

Today, I want you to meet Mama Shu, a beautiful woman who turned her own grief into something positive for her community.  Mama Shu is Shamayim Harris of Highland Park, Michigan.  In 2007, her 2-year-old son, Jakobi Ra, was struck and killed in a hit-and-run in Highland Park.

आशा / Hope

When iridescent rays
reflect and refract playfully
in moist eye drops,
a glimmer of hope shows

नम आंखों की बूंदों में जब

प्रतिबिंबित और अपवर्तित होती हैं,
तो आशा की एक किरण
दिखाई देती है
