One Of Those Portals


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

The secret to success is to be in harmony with existence, to always be calm, to let each wave of life wash us a little farther up the shore. Cyril Connolly



A single petal
upright on the breeze—
as if the wind remembered
how to pause and freeze.
It poses on a leaf,
not fallen, not flying,
I know I saw it
but it feels like lying.
So unreal it startles,
so ultra-real it stays.
Just one of those portals
on an ordinary day.

Cloudia Charters




Very little is needed
to make a happy life; it is
all within yourself, in
your way of thinking.
Marcus Aurelius




The glow of
one warm thought
 is to me worth more
 than money.
 Thomas Jefferson

  5. Pixie is staring at something, and I imagine it's a little mouse wearing a hat. Loved that the petal became a portal between realities.
