suffering from anorexia
(too little Miracle-grow consumed)
a rock-hard home
(up in the hills)
a long ride back
to the comfort
of family
some greenery for the season
(a bit of frenzied shopping)
followed by music
those notes medieval
harmonize with tinsel
scraps from aunt’s old
tree (a jumble
of thoughts)
for such
little boughs
almost an after-thought
the tea and Christmas
cookies rolled up
(on the plate)
for you and me.

Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.

Reminds me of apple pie and cranberry juice days...
