What You Might Find Here

I've always thought of myself as a writer. Mostly because I get such satisfaction from it, and because that is the medium through which my thoughts seem to make the most sense. I don't always make sense when I'm just talking. But writing; I feel at home when I'm writing. Here I'll share thoughts, opinions, poems, short stories, and random sketches of "The Wanderers". "The Wanderers" is an ongoing story that I have no intention of finishing, but dearly love adding to. I haven't started this blog, because I think my life is especially fabulous. I'm a stay at home mom, occasionally a college student, a homeschooler and a terrible speller. I love my kids, Jesus, coffee, my husband and ice cream (not in that order). I hate animals, materialism, insincerity, and all things "trendy" (if it's popular I probably won't like it. The exception to this would be all things "Twilight". Twilight IS popular and I DO like it). So that's me, the standard edition, no frills attached.

Before Desire

A memory of dropping of dripping snow

Dissipating in summer's heat

Christmas songs on a July night

A memory of hope and then defeat



My loss hangs heavy upon the night

Regret the worse beneath the smile

Like the unwrapped gifts beneath your bed

My loss betrayed by truth awhile



Fair the days when tiny hands

Sought not what they could not acquire

When truth was earth and food and heat

Fair the days before desire
