Song on my Mind

Many of you know my life is hectic right now, but who can miss the news? So, I’m writing this on the fly.

Chasing Rainbows

Back in February 2012, I posted this poem. I didn’t have many followers than, so I thought I’d drop it in again. A short story told in rhyme. Hope you enjoy it.

Ode to the Like Button

by Lori (L. Virelli)

Almost Like Home

The chill in the air drifted me back home
…. and enveloped me so lovingly that I melded
into one with you …. but for only
the blink of an eye …. then, the bustle
and worries of the season returned,
leashing me once again. ~ Lori (L. Virelli)

Heed the Call of Christmas

Is Christmas about the hottest new toy,
or is it about love and joy?

Is Christmas about which house has the most lights,
or is it about reaching new spiritual heights?

Is Christmas about the most beautiful tree,
or is it about showing our inner light’s jubilee?

Nature of the Lion

The white cat sat scrunched down on all fours.
We eyed each other suspiciously.
How did it get inside my house?

My husband walked by the cat
seemingly unaware of its presence.
I asked, “Don’t you see that cat?”

He answered, “No.
This is your dream, not mine.”
Ignoring us, he left the room.
