There are those Who cannot see above the clouds. Or dream beyond The rainbows of the stars. People blind to colors Such as midnight raven blue Or ocean thunder black Yellow orange mango sunset hues, or Purple heather painted vines And velvet lavender lilac blues Nestled in the mountain’s lakes. There are those for whom [...]
He sings…
In the middle of the morning
For no apparent reason
I can fathom
He must be happy
So it would seem
To those of us who hide in cubicles
Completing joyless tasks
Bitching and moaning
About nothing or less.
What wonder…
I walked alone upon a road beside a hill
Where I saw an open grave lying still
All alone beneath a tree, when I came near
The darkness grew, took my sight, left the fear
For there, right there, in front of me
There was my name, inscribed on stone,
beneath the tree.
Unsure, [...]
She made sponge cake
Dough rising
Like joy in the afternoon
With smells of flour, eggs, sugar
Lemons, oranges
Apple cake always with cinnamon
Honey, raisins, nuts, and vanilla.
And luscious potato kugel
With onions chopped so fine they were invisible.
There was always food for strangers or dogs
I would bring home.
Travels of a [...]
Thirty thousand feet
Above the ground
The world is whizzing by below
Yet, I’m standing still
At six hundred miles an hour
Above the clouds
Below the sun
Remembering
A few short hours ago
I held you curled
Your tiny face inside my neck
Sheltering you
While you slept
Feeling you
Dream your dreams
Of [...]
We had a tea party, you and I
Yesterday, when March was cold.
We were three or four again
Five or six or seven.
Changed the world

Though I’ve worn my heart
Upon my sleeve (and around my knees)
More times than I care to remember
Or talk about in mixed company.
There is that special place I keep for you
Like the bag that’s packed
With brandy colored lipstick, ginger cologne
A little black dress, and cream lingerie
That ignites [...]
San Xavier Mission by Sara Fryd
I held a mirror up to you
So you could see the fire
You carry deep
The voice you crave to share
With the hunger of years
One cannot retrieve
No matter the longing.
You reversed the mirror for me
So I could visit my own reflection
[...]
Last Light of Day (c) 2004 by Sara Fryd
Last light of day warms the heart
Like chili stew warms the ribcage
During the early frosts of December nights.
You’ve left to “find yourself,”
Somewhere else
Though not here.
I am lugubriously left
To find your face
Amongst black and whites or sepia [...]
My eyes focused on the second button
of your blue and white shirt.
Heart don’t stop, lungs breathe
legs don’t fail me now.
I want to melt into the space
behind that button.
So wrap your arms around me
hold me still
listen to the rhythm of my breathing.
Hear [...]
oh my…
to have had the courage
the strength
to follow my heart
my soul
only
when I was eighteen
when the world was new
so full of promise
and I was still
so full of dreams
it hurt to say goodbye…
what fears
give way to regrets
what dreams still refuse to die
[...]
