I translate stars into daydreams
I make rain and rainbows into
freshly squeezed joy
I breathe the air of possibility
I swim deep in rivers of passion
I use my loneliness as
a stepping stone to love
I am on the march to freedom
I tend to my blossoming soul
—Terri Guillemets
Do not take anything for granted — not one smile or one person or one rainbow or one breath, or one night in your cozy bed.

Foggy heavy-gray teary-eyed low-hanging
snow-stuffed melancholy winter clouds
Impulsive wayward turbulent thick-swift-dark
tempestuous hail-angered storm clouds
Sprinkling lighthearted fanciful breeze-drifted
rainbow-nestled April-hued springtime clouds
Enormous white-fluffy fairydust-fringed
frolicsome sun-illumed carefree summer clouds
Thunderous intense restless rain-soaked
lightning-streaked July-dyed monsoon clouds
Azure-skylit sunglow-slanted edge-gleaming
white-silver billowy contemplative autumn clouds
Vivid vibrant blissful dawn-lit joy-beamed
daybreak-florid sunrise-tinted morning clouds
Aimless airy midday-lazy wandering listless
mountaintop-floating leisurely afternoon clouds
Amber-ablaze day’s-end-pink ephemeral-amethyst
evening-welcome smoky-embered sunset clouds
Lambent star-flanked luminous moon-halo’d
glowing shadow-painted skygazers’ night clouds

Life is not always fair — sometimes you get a splinter sliding down
—Terri Guillemets
If you keep a sunny attitude, you will glow like a rainbow when life gets stormy.
