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.

Celebrate the date
Re-Tire-meant
I wake on my time
Dawn or noon
Present dreams
For me to make

Stacked
Stacked
The lore of the past stacked
Between faces of mundane
A spark flares
Not a dare
But the scare of difference
Change accepted
Heaped upon history
Mundane returns
Until the attack
Don’t go back
~Abbe
A Child’s Pace
A Child’s Pace
A race down the driveway
Dandelion Seeds
Blown in the wind
Mud puddles
Rocks piled to the sky
Moon puffs
Scattered like stars
A child’s space

Survival
Survival
Water, water, everywhere
But here..
Body, Soul, Life Force
Quench, rejoice
~Abbe
The Earth Receives
Moon Beams
Circles of Light
Eclipsed by clouds
An edge of Sun
Touched by a Star
~Abbe
Wailing Wall
Wailing Wall
Packed in crevices
Secrets of centuries
Remove the laments
Stories disintegrate

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.
