Taking Chances

 Taking chances

A common thread

Always pulled

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Coats

 Wrapped in coats

Trying to promote

Life

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Tres Leches

Settling into the 

Comfy armchair of old age

A Tres leches cake

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Safety

 Never had

a new mattress until you

A safety net to fall into

~Sarah Mahina Calvello 

From a dusk to Dawn

From dusk to dawn,

Everybody has dues to pay

A stirring kiss

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Bending

 Bending slightly

With the howling wind

Buildings scrape sky

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Picking

 Picking

Fresh strawberries for bread

Tending burdens

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Sweet Silence

 The sweet silence

Jasmine moon climbing 

bringing tears

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Canopy

 Under 

The canopy of shaded oaks

Each leaf opening eyes

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Storm

 The wind is changing

A storm is approaching

So quiet

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Decoding

 Taking the time

to reassess along the way

Decoding signs

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Count

Time for bed

But the moon will always be back

Count on it

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Blushing

 At least cut your bangs

shouldn't hide your pretty face

blushing peonies

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Compliment

 A compliment

Of nice pajama's

A rare smile comes 

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Molasses

 Today,

Is a microwave cornbread

Molasses morning

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Pajamas

 These days,

A wardrobe of pajama's

Accumulating

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Alstroemeria

 There can't be 

A love song song without

Alstroemeria 

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Spring

 Preferring spring

without tornado's

mind the moon

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Sunday

Waking up slowly,

Sunday mornings in bed, but still 

The coffee needs to be made

Sarah Mahina Calvello

Missing Fall

 Missing fall already

chunky soup and colorful sweaters

fragrant foliage

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Edge

 The edge

of night and morning, buying

earrings on a whim

Sarah Mahina Calvello

Slowing

 Slowing down,

Twilight before the day wakes up

Coffee sipping

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Dreamland

It’s time to rest,

Hitting the road to dreamland

Turn Sarah Vaughan up

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Eclipse

 There seemed to be 

An eclipse moon hanging low

But maybe not

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Mismatched

It’s preferable 

Mismatched colored pjs

Sane, perhaps, but still…

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

Winter Rose

 Finally, 

winter rose camillia

Blooms in Spring

Seems to be quite a jigsaw puzzle

wild yellow fields 🍂

That dress

Worn in December

Magic moment

A beautiful bauble

Holding truth

Peaches with nostalgia

Letting days go by

Moonshine becomes bright days

Winter undisguised

The sweetness of over blooming

Sound amazing today

Deceiving chimes

Beautifully insecure feeling

When time slips

Getting repaid with scorn

I get you, Bob Dylan

Brioche with lemon curd

Morning

Morning wake up call 

Ordered pajamas and coffee

No shame or regret

New Years

 Cleaning out

The coffee pot for New Year's

It's a clean slate
