Inspiration comes in fits and spurts, laced with time, warmed with the heart. Each of my offerings began with a whisper, a pause to see, hear, and reflect.

Flight
Flight
Time machines on
Gravity holds us
Reflection retreats
Dreams project us
Steps follow
Till wings emerge
Lift off..
Nourishment
Nourishment
Surrounded by books
In a shop no larger than
A postage stamp
I traveled the world
Through the portal of
Another’s story
Escaped and returned
Enlightened
Imagination broadened
By quiet adventure
The mind knows
When you feed it
Eat well
Wisdom
Wisdom
In a blink
Moments disappear
Wide-eyed
Thoughts follow
Words slow to appear
Gather
Fill the hollow
Of a blink
Feline
Feline
A love one passes
Nine lives
The tenth
Says goodbye
Each chance
To question
Why
Til death
Do us part
Compelled
Sunrise
Sunrise
When the world is in upheaval
The moon retreats
As the last stars sparkle
The sun slowly rises
Penetrates the darkness
Light shines through
To resolution
A daily-nocturnal process
Renewal
SEALED
SEALED
Waking from dreams
Eyes closed
Hands reach
For lips to kiss
Morning salutations
Rituals of love
About Abbe
Abbe Rolnick grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. Her first major cultural jolt occurred at age 15 when her family moved to Miami Beach, Florida. To find perspective, she climbed the only non-palm tree at her condo complex and wrote what she observed. History came alive with her exposure to Cuban culture. After attending Boston University, she lived in Puerto Rico, where she owned a bookstore. Once Stateside, she capitalized on the knowledge she gained as an independent bookstore owner and worked for one of the finest bookstores, Village Books, in Bellingham, Washington. Once a CEO of a manufacturing firm and owner of a healthy foods café, she is now retired and spends her time writing.
