About Me

Yvonne: It's almost midnight, and it seems like I've stared at this computer forever trying to think of something very clever to say. It's not going to happen; so...sometimes I find myself wishing I could just turn back the hands of time and take that other path to the left instead of the one I chose to the right in my life's journey. It's difficult to see my successes when I compare them unrealistically with my peers. I've had great accomplishments and I've had devastating failures. I always try to live life to the max, and it's been one hell of a roller coaster ride through all of these years. I haven't fallen off yet :)

You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. -Antoine De Saint Exupery, Little Prince

A walk in the gardens...

Baby Opossums

If apples were pears and peaches were plums and the rose had a different name. If tigers were bears and fingers were thumbs I'd love you just the same.
-Valentine's Day Songs and Poems

A garden is like those pernicious machineries we read of, every month, in the newspapers, which catch a man's coat-skirt or his hand, and draw in his arm, his leg, and his whole body to irresistible destruction.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Garden

She has enslaved

my weary heart in chains,

so demanding

and much unforgiving...

only on me will I lay any blame,

such vanity so intoxicating.

*why two cats and a dog

should never have adopted

a gardener*

sweat burned eyes

peek through wisps

of wind frizzed hair

aching fingers still

in a death grip

around those

dulled pruners

as the sun rests

below the horizon

with the job

half finished

and resignation

is erasing the

determination

of a tomorrow

absolutely free

of #%!(&* work

because

Andee,

Zoe,

and

Dustin

are wondering...

will dinner

become

breakfast

as they wait

and wait

and

wait

Always in my heart...

Love you, my sweet one...love you forever.

Evanescence
by Angelina Weld Grimke, 1905

You are like a pale purple flower
in the blue spring dusk
You are like a yellow star
budding and blowing
in an apricot sky
You are like the beauty
of a voice
remembered after death
You are like thin, white petals
falling and floating down
upon the white stilled hushing
of my soul.

The Dream Keeper
by Langston Hughes

I loved my friend,
he went away from me,
there's nothing more to say.
The poem ends,
soft as it began -
I loved my friend.
