A Night of Dreams

Victoria Polmatier Tue, 11/12/2019 - 07:12
Bonfire in the night

A night of dreams
visitations of the past
moments of angst
disappointments relived
I feel the emotions
I've been in the stories

Changing of the Seasons

Victoria Polmatier Mon, 11/11/2019 - 11:26
Weather vane on a cloudy day

I wandered outside last night
to check on our little world
The fog was misting softly
and round and round it swirled
When I awoke this morning
I heard the wild winds of fall

Cheyenne, a Dog with a Purpose

Victoria Polmatier Thu, 11/07/2019 - 09:34
Cheyenne, the dachshund, lying in the grass

Cheyenne
not much of a morning girl
She hides away under a blanket
or deep in her clam-shell bed
a gentle soul biding her time
But a warm afternoon

Mom
our relationship
​​​​​​​complicated at times
but mostly just love
Over the years
you got better at saying it

Is It Okay to Be Depressed, Just for Today

Victoria Polmatier Tue, 11/05/2019 - 11:56
Foggy morning dripping from the trees

The fog has descended
deep darkness
overrides my soul
the spark is missing
the daydreams
no longer hold any light

the opportunity
to write a novel
with the energy of many

I begin

my first

Here's to the dead *

The Wandering Nature of Grief

Victoria Polmatier Thu, 10/24/2019 - 09:05

Those days
when grief wanders in
like the tendrils of fog
in the river valley
slowly engulfing
my heart and mind

You Can Start Over

Eagle in flight

Agreements with the self
too many made
not enough kept
leaves one distrustful
backed into a corner

What if you stopped
all the whirling and dervishing
What if you quit
the worrying and the caretaking
What if you just sat still
allowed in the silence
