 colored pencil art by jkb I sat last night, tired legs o'er the arms of my old wicker chair 'One more year.' A sigh too weary to pray or sing my late day chant . Don Juan and new-mown grass whisper a promise of gentle night Burn-red sun sets lighting a world beyond my perch, then spreads across the sky turning ribbons of purple - pearl across Old Sandia Mountaiin A present just for me! . My weathered years settle to the back of my mind as teardrops and promises evaporate into yesterday . Sometimes I think I am not home This simple place, where earth meets sky and the creak of my old wicker chair sings 'One more year' Then God sends me this late-day glow And I know . One more year I know ~~~ Janet K. Brennan |

Wonderful, dear Janet, a moment of pondering on a special day, with Nature's majestic gifts surrounding you. I hope your legs were tired because you had been dancing through the evening ... So, if this yesterday was, as I understand, your birthday, may happiness and joy accompany you through the new year of life. The drawing is very lovely too. Wicker chairs are so romantic! Love and joy. Margherita |

You should be a popular artist. Ever consider writing a children's story book, including your drawings and sketches? That would be lovely, ARCTIC WIND |
