Living my best life coasting to the end filled with happiness.

From my memoir:

The willow switch is a particular southern instrument of discipline. Cut fresh from a weeping willow tree, it is long and slender, tapering to a fine point. Flexible, yet sharp, it leaves angry red welts on legs and buttocks that rise like cords of fire across the skin.

A cardinal stops by to eat,
bright feathers at my window seat.
The cat looks on with lustful eyes,
a silent hunter cloaked in surprise.

If I could give you the heavens, I would make the universe your playground.

You would spin the galaxies with joy, move the stars to wherever your heart desired.

I would stand in awe, watching you fill the sky with beauty and wonder, content just to witness your delight.

As the day begins its gentle break,
In my thoughts, you brightly gleam.
You are the first thing I think of when I wake,
And you are the sweetest part of every dream.

Hope to get some readers, and then some honest reviews. This is a new endeavor for me so open to any thoughts.

When Maya Torres sets out to document the myths carved into Arizona’s sandstone cliffs, she never expects to uncover the truth behind generations of whispered stories. Locals speak of a canyon that “breathes,” a place that takes but never gives back.
