Where Does the Train Go, When It Leaves Munich?

A tiny frightened child stands At the bottom of a hill            Watching… As the train roars by Through the tall pine trees Wondering where it goes. Does it take you far away? To someplace warm, peaceful A place where there is space to sleep Sunshine to warm your face? Munich is icy cold, so [...]

You Meet No Strangers

Edith, her cousin Nancy (both over 70) and I met on an America West flight back to Los Angeles from San Antonio May 1991.  I noticed Edith while I was waiting in the airport for the flight that would take me back to Long Beach (where I lived) after negotiating a contract at San Antonio [...]

Volcanoes Erupting

Feelings…                                       …unacknowledged since childhood             are erupting                            like open wounds  not properly cleansed with antiseptic.      Mourning my losses                resolving my fears  become the purpose of each day.   Emotional scars

Ballerina Dance

©2011 by Deborah Scott Lightfoot   The ballerina twirls With such silent joy The sun has come out to play To warm the wisps of hair Left loose to fall Down the back of her neck What beauty, pink ribbons Crisscrossed about her ankles Barely blushed like her cheeks As she spins to music only [...]

Yesterday, We Talked for Five Hours

Promises…                                      You never intended to keep,          like your words,                  hung in the air. I knew you were lying         when you said them                    as surely                    as you did, too. You wanted desperately                    to keep o
