Aisling
By Morgan Daimler
The sun sinks slowly to her rest
As I go, shivering, to my own,
And even as her travels continue –
A dream of shadows
Broken by warm light –

Ghosts of Christmas past
I’ve been reading on a page I like on Facebook of someone’s making of Christmas gifts for family that speaks of heritage, and love. For me those are the best kind of gifts to receive. It also makes me remember some that I have given, to others that mean more to them than was […]
