Whale Rain
I stood atop a high stone wall today, little stars-in-my-sky, looking out over the water and thinking of you. Rain pattered all around, plashing up from the courtyard, patting on my hood, and leaving tiny, icy kisses on my cheeks. … Continue reading

Fairies and Dilophosaurs
Uncle David has a Rose of Sharon tree in his garden with the most beautiful flowers, little stars-in-my-sky, and I can’t help but think of you when I see it in bloom. It’s heavy with frost now, blossoms long gone, … Continue reading

I miss you so much, little stars-in-my-sky. My world seems dark and scary right now, with half-seen monsters lurking in the shadows. I feel alone, so alone sometimes, but through it you shine like the cluster of stars at Orion’s … Continue reading
