Image of clouds over mountains and trees

Slipping behind
wandering off on my own path
letting it all go
I wander this foggy avenue
going nowhere
not caring
just being
no beginning
no end
tears ride
at the edges
threatening a storm
but staying in the distance
like the thunderheads
rising off far away mountains
sometimes bringing their torrents
other times melting off into the sunset
someday I'll return
pound my feet in the sand
dance my song upon the earth
but for tonight
it's the sweet surrender
into nothingness

Poetry
Grief, Death and Dying
Surrender

Welcome

I've been writing blogs on the internet since 2007. Like my life, my words have wandered from Wisdom or Life Lessons and Wellness, to Gardening and Aquaponics. After my son’s death by suicide in 2016, Poetry became a big piece of my world as I tried to make sense of the tragedy of his death.

In truth, his death took me into my own journey with darkness. I've shared a bit during the last ten years but nothing in comparison to what I've written. Only recently have I started to climb back into life and the desire to share my writing.

These days, my writing is varied and inspired by the moment. I participate in two writing group, one where we write to prompts from a book by Judy Reeves called A Writer’s Book of Days: A Spirited Companion and the other where we journey and then write about our experience or about the wisdom gained. Much of this writing is buried in journals in my office. As I move forward, Some of that will be found under Stories, Magic and the Mystical.

How do you read this jumble of topics? You can read what’s latest, type a word into Search and see what comes up, or select a Topic from the Blog Content below. However you read, I hope you enjoy.

Blessings, Victoria
