Waterfall Evie stretched, smiled, and played with her ring. When she patted Dillon’s side of the tarp, he wasn’t there. Coffee was perkin’ on the camp fire. A cup of coffee with steam still wafting from it was between them. She picked up the cup, sippin’, lazily strollin’ over to the waterfall. DillonContinue reading “Sunshine Valley”

At this stage
Blood on the page At this stage ~ Seeping from a wound never healed Rivers flowing from a bandaged peeled ~ Drops trail behind me like bread crumbs Leaving limbs numb ~ Can’t you see this How can you miss ~ This can’t be visible only to me From sea to shining see ~ AContinue reading “At this stage”
