Sweetened rays of sunlight served in a chilled Mason Jar
Life’s nectar that relieves the parched throat of the Southern summer
Condensation glides down the side
Inviting me to sip…
and sip…
and sip some more
I open my eyes and see only ice cubes
Sadness blankets my soul
as the last drop of sweetness lingers on my lips
I sigh with satisfaction…
…and pour more

I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology & Creativity Studies and I write poetry, flash fiction, short stories, novellas, and flash memoir with themes based on overcoming childhood trauma; physical, psychological, and spiritual healing; loss and recovery of voice; and relationships. Many of my writings focus on psychological drama with an occasional paranormal twist. I also dabble in nature photography. My spirit lives in my creativity.
