  • Water

    When it comes to water pollution   I wish there was an easy solution  But people don’t seem to care  Which these days, was not so rare  The Earth needs a revolution 

  • Waterfalls

    Photo by MUHAMMAD KAMRAN KHAN on Unsplash  I knew hiding behind the waterfall was the only place I would be safe.  He thought I had never learned how to swim, but that was not the only lie I had told him.  I had been trying to get out from under his clutches for years and this might be the break I…

  • New Life

    Photo by Jocke Wulcan on Unsplash  As soon as I saw the house, I knew I was home.  That I was finally ready to start my new life.  A life where Jeremy would never find me.  I knew he would never follow me across an ocean to a country where he wouldn’t understand the language.  In a country whose native language isn’t English,…

  • Future Life

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  As soon set over the mountains, I wondered what my next step would be.  Would I continue on with my dream or should I turn back and return to the life every expected of me?  The missed calls on my phone meant my family was not supportive of my decision, but I knew I couldn’t let them make my decisions for…

  • Protection

    When the sun goes down  At the end of the day  The birds go silent and the fireflies appear  The bears came out to play  Roaring fires and brightly shining stars  Spirits come out to show their wild side  Booing, scaring, jumping, seething  Haunting is their source of pride  I will follow wherever you may…

  • Earth

    Mother Earth counted the cost  Of everything she had lost  Between the sun and the moon  The end would come too soon  All we do is act like our hearts are covered with frost 

  • Heart of Love
