Parch
-Linda Lee Lyberg
The sun bakes the land
Blinding,fierce,parching its path
To the salvation
Of coolness, sating its thirst
In the cool crystal blue pools.
Natty loved to sing. She wasn’t any good at it, but she sang anyway. When she was younger, her grandmother told her “Sing the words in your normal voice child. You’ll get it someday.” Her grandma ought to know;she was a blues singer in Vaudeville. Traveled with an act from town to town, singing to small and large crowds. Grandma Nora had a voice like a caramel coated apple; dark, rich, yet tart, juicy, and sassy. Natty longed to know how it felt to sing in front of a theatre filled with people. All there to hear you sing.
What If
-Linda Lee Lyberg
What if
A heart is sad,
But can love just the same
As when it is joyous and true
The sadness has nothing to do with you
And everything to do with life’s test,
To merit the worthiness of
A love divine
What if.

A kiss is pure luck
Perfect,beautiful, timing
For our lips to meet.

The Knight
-Linda Lee Lyberg

The wind is peaceful
As dark clouds threaten with rain
Lightning seeks the earth.

The Space Between Us
