the glimmer of hope
hiding in the reflection
of earth’s regal eyes
the last petal of a floret
hangs heroic in cold wind
the star that visits dipped
in chocolate sings to me
the lady, of perpetual strength

Thanks, Joni. Plans for family get-togethers over the holiday, with our three kids and six grandchildren. Hope you and yours have a merry Christmas and happy New Year.
That sounds amazing. Thanks Tim, may you all be very blessed. Big hugs, Joni
I read this poem on Terveen’s page first and thought the picture was a great match. Now I read this post, the image you chose is just powerful. A great read! 💚
Thank you Cassa, you are a sweetheart. I appreciate so much that you read me on MasticadoresIndia. I am glad you liked both images. I don’t know how you full time workers ever manage to do all that you do. My hat is off to you too my friend. By the way I love your new profile picture, stunningly gorgeous!
Thank you Joni, always!
❤️
You are the essence of beauty and strength in women. Love your work, love you, dear Joni!
You are so kind my friend. What a wonderful and gracious thing to say. I love your writing as well and I love you right back. Blessings to you and hoping that all is well and that you and yours will manage to be together for the holidays. Sending my prayers as well! ❤️🥰
Beautiful thoughts and well-wishes from a beautiful woman; I would expect nothing less. I wish the same for you and yours. Many blessings, Joni; much love and joy this Christmas and throughout the New Year. 💕💫
All the same to you my friend, many blessings coming to you and yours, love Joni ❤️
This line “hangs heroic in cold wind” just feels so….powerful. Or rather, strong.
I think of you climbing up the mountain against the wind and the terrain in your first amazing book, “Yellow Door,” I know you have felt that feeling. Hope to catch up soon, sending you my love, Joni
Thank you Joni. I love that you connected your writing wtih my writing AND my experience!
Absolutely in fact it is a joy to see this tonight. This morning at breakfast we were talking about thinking of your book. Also my husband said, “She is a writer that chooses her words carefully.” He also said that you reminded him of me an old soul. I took that as a complement. So my pleasure and you are so welcome. Blessings for the holidays and your family. 🦋
Wow. That is very touching Joni. Thank you, and your husband. I do wish you and your husband a wonderful, full of peace and joyous holiday.
Same to you my friend. Love and happiest to your family always. Hugs and love, 🦋🌹🤗Joni
Sending lots of love and hugs right back. xoxoxoxo
