A moment to be wistful to linger in the in-between, caught by spectacular vistas and rising tides Searching for solace by sunflower petals, faded and tristful tenuous steps shaken by sorrow’s onslaught a moment to be wistful Releasing rainbows, the god’s hand abides with wisdom to reach a soul destined to linger in the in-between, … Continue reading On Second Thought – Michele Vecchitto
Michele/Writing and Reflections
Strength Claimed – Michele Vecchitto
And when magic is lean and your mantra seems tarnished and messy, when courage is desperate for a way to escape and dreams are filled with regret, when being headstrong and proud leaves you sort of wishing for reasons to abdicate your throne, whatever that may be, remember… a vulnerable soul has power Stories … Continue reading Strength Claimed – Michele Vecchitto
Breaking Memory by Michele Vecchitto
I awoke to a breaking memory caught somewhere between layers of haze and impending storms I tried to hold it, to capture the edges before they dissolved back into nothingness My mind bent and curved as if it were a porcelain cup While the vision dissipated layer by layer, a release of emotion oozed from … Continue reading Breaking Memory by Michele Vecchitto
Midnight’s Journey – Michele Vecchitto
Dust sparkles like frost on the window in this little piece of heaven where the quiet warrior sings of forgotten lands She’s a lonely orphan who learned to fly away from the cold, dark city where the air stifles and silence floats like a heavy blanket draped over subdued stars Now even her casual sigh … Continue reading Midnight’s Journey – Michele Vecchitto

Healing Spaces – Michele Vecchitto
Tobacco hills and tangerine skies painting my way across cold memories with a heart, stoned and stowed away Practicing the art of self-healing Out west where gunslingers roam if only in symbols and chatter there’s order and beauty and a place to get lost for a while to practice the art of self-healing I climb … Continue reading Healing Spaces – Michele Vecchitto

Wisdom – Michele Vecchitto
Some days I am a lion strong, proud, fierce I know no fear I am mighty Some days I am a fish caught, filleted, starved for oxygen I bleed on old docks alone Some days I am an eagle flying free soaring, soaring above the clouds with a song in my heart When I was … Continue reading Wisdom – Michele Vecchitto
