Unexpected, joyful, perfect. How can I tell her I have to go?

The thaw has come, birds sing in the brush,
We must leave a season behind -
Today I cling to my best friend

~Suzanne Simonovich

Without our differences, who would we be but each other.
Without our similarities, who would we be but strangers.

~Jodi Diderrich

I listen to the melody of your words and try not to appear too impressed as they make the synapses in my brain ignite like fireflies in an empty jar. From time to time, subliminally, I reach out and touch your lips with mine.

~Jodi Diderrich

Come on down to the beach where sand and sun reside
Listen to the waves brush ashore and your tropical attitude you will find

~Suzanne Simonovich

Lemons, honey and water partied in a little pot
this magical elixir blesses the sneeze and charms a cough
healthy children wake up wide eyed without a smidgen of a sniffle

For the day & the rain

It is so small a thing to have enjoyed the sun, to have lived light in the spring, to have loved, to have thought, to have done.

Matthew Arnold
