Yesterday We Danced: A Sonnet

As evening wanes between white parted blinds,
I watch the dust prance in its rails of light.
Reality and dreams soon intertwine
Like shadows of us dancing at midnight.

The apple-red quilt encasing my frame
Still retains your warmth and carries your scent.
A lone candle sputters its feeble flame,
While my yearning taps against a closed vent.

Footprints of angels tousle the carpet
Beside the bed where we made our goodbyes.
A melody plays; the sky turns scarlet
As chimes stir into a closing reprise.

Young wings seldom have the power to soar—
Remember me in the midst of your war.

Latest Book Release

I'm happy to announce the release of FOUR--a compilation of four short stories by four different authors. Timothy Holder, Ann Lovell, D. A. Adams, and myself were the authors, and our stories are sure to keep you turning pages until the very end! 

I feel very blessed to be a part of this project, as I had the wonderful opportunity to work with three very talented authors who all pulled together to make FOUR an exciting read. I also want to insert a very special thanks to Timothy Holder for making this story possible. I had the privilege of meeting him and his wife at WSCC, and was impressed by not only the collection of books he’s written, but also for his dedication to making college students’ lives a little easier and, most importantly, his love for God. Because of him, I wrote my first short story—something I thought I’d never do.

FOUR is now available in kindle format as well as paperback on amazon.
