Sometimes the detour
Is where the
Colors begin,
The exit you never
Planned to take.
An off‑ramp
with a rainbow is
perhaps a small,
shimmering sign
that you are still
on the right road,
even if your map
is soft from tears.
Every turn holds
a chance for color
if you are willing
to look up,
Pixie & Cloudia
Even if you are weary
from the rain,
keep driving.
The next bend
might shimmer.
The horizon,
might suddenly
laugh in light!
I see so much
in these young faces:
Innocence, High Hopes
Naivete.
Can't help wishing them well
with their aspirations
and futures.

If you care for an orchid,
It's beauty will reward you.
Petals open.
Fragrance fills your room.
Even delicate things,
Can be beautiful and strong.
Hush and heartbeat
Light sifts through
The sky cups it's silence
Journeying towards blue.
I offer my calm
This empty bowl,
Ready to receive
And play my role.
Cloudia Charters
I really just want to be
warm yellow light
that pours over
everyone I love.
