The Depth of Motivation
This weekend, I worked on a project I had left off of my schedule for some time. Since it was a personal endeavor, I ended up sliding it at the bottom of the to do list day after day. There were more important projects to work on, ones that would build clientelle and pay the bills. Yet this writing project had always been there- nagging at me.

Speeding Through the Moment
A couple of weeks ago, I received my first speeding ticket- ever, since I began driving. The worst part was I wasn't on the highway, which I admit I usually drive faster than I should. I was around the corner from our house.

(Anna von deBardeleben, September 21, 1947- June 23, 2001)
Soft smile shines from the yearbook photograph
I keep on my writing table,
an antique post office desk
she picked up on an exotic trip.
Her butterfly painting hangs beside me,
a blue butterfly with purple wings
lands on a white camellia bloom.
Off in the distance,
a pastel rainbow forms
as sunrays burst through the storm.
I smile as the memories flash
like fireflies in the summer night,
rising to the moon. |

I have had red roes
yellow, pink and white
breathing fragrant
in the morning light
Drop of dew its petals
touched
fragrance of the night.
A few red and glowing
like no other,
but only one or two or three
Like soft blown mornings.
Like a meteor in the moony lite
so touched my life
like only one or two or more-
A few I loved who loved me too
like the red rose.
~Annie McLeod Mauney
