and then one day I stumbled upon
total joy unafraid
to fail or fall or come too close
it had been there all along
hidden behind the undergrowth
I danced and played with this new joy
and relished in that rush of feeling
that comes from dreaming
the impossible dream

Snapthought: Shadows
Snapthought: Farmlands
we love to drive by farmlands
fleeting in the distance
glowing moments yellow green
then nothing but gray highway
these yellow green moments
make us think
of fresh frothy milk
homemade apple pies
baked bread puffing up
like clouds in endless skies
the smell of the earth
after the rain
then again there’s nothing
but gray highway
Snapthought: Skyscrapers
Snapthought: A Day at the Beach
we taste the ocean on our skin
salt-encrusted memories
call out as seagulls
dive through crashing waves
feel the undertow pulling
up, down, around
until we surface gasping
laughing
tidal pools appear and disappear
look into the shallow clear
to watch for life scuttling
searching
as the air grows cooler
we stand and brush off the sand
to go home with sun-soaked days clinging
lingering
Snapthought: Ancient Shores
Snapthought: Snowflakes
trees turn into snowflakes
that never touch the ground
each design different
waiting to be found
branches glitter glisten
when first the sun appears
bringing rainbow colors
to sparkle crystal clear
