this is a way of forcing myself to be open about where i'm at while giving myself a forum for writing that isn't a pen and pencil journal for myself. i've always been best able to express myself in writing..so i guess this is a little bit of me

Little Black Riding Hood
there she goes
little black riding hood
with her basket of trinkets and treasures from life
as it's happened to her so far
there she goes
smile on her face
lost in a day dream and listening to birds
black birds
reminding her of death, transformation and writing desks
oh black riding hood
are you off to grandmothers house?
have you already been there?
did you meet the wolf?
I am still on my way
the path is unknown
and the wolf I have seen off and on
sometimes i am frightened but mostly
i know there's a wisdom deep in her eyes
as she howls at the moon
my path may be leading me to her
it seems and I may be the grandmother
by the end of this journey
and you know they never wrote about me
but a child in the woods
with a brand new red hood
there she goes
little black riding hood
with her basket of trinkets and treasures from life
as it's happened for her so far
now
some time later
i see a basket emptied and weathered
a beautiful basket woven so well
i hadn't noticed with her holding it
i was somehow under her spell
where did she go
little black riding hood
without her basket
trinkets and treasures from life
as it happened
