Dreams dashed and destroyed
Lying in scattered ruins
Crushed and beaten flat
Humidity low
Running shoes moving briskly
Air – fall like and warm

I forgot how much I enjoyed listening to The Dave Matthews Band.
Enjoy.
Bright southern morning
Coffee, cast-iron cornbread
Helps to start the day

What is your favorite kind of cornbread?
Sweet or savory doesn’t matter to me – love it all.

Disturbed by a thirsty bear
Looking for a drink

Glass mirror reveals
A hard life the man has lived
The scars of his age

Mirror’s reflection
Revealed the long dark hallway
Something standing near

Stretching their soft round white heads
Towards the cool rain
Bright white shining stars
Cut through the night’s black darkness
Twinkling high above

Ladybug hanging
Clinging to the silver screen
Hoping for some warmth

There are about 5,000 different species of ladybugs in the world. These much-loved critters are also known as lady beetles or ladybird beetles. They come in many different colors and patterns, but the most familiar in North America is the seven-spotted ladybug, with its shiny, red-and-black body. In many cultures, ladybugs are considered good luck. Source: Ladybug
