Nancy Trembley

As I sit inside this vessel of sacred flesh and bone.
I ponder my existence, my passions, my place in this home.
I watch life moving.
Undulating around me.
...

A book is a beautiful thing to me.
From the moment, I could read I was hooked.
A happy memory from childhood I'll never forget.
When I first learned to read simple books,
...

I'm driving my car down a road.
A road, I've driven so many times in the past
But today I'm seeing an aspect
That I've never noticed.
...

The ancient alchemists truly had the right ideas,
With knowledge in science, philosophy and mysticism.
They pursued a recipe for a phenomenal universal elixir
Which would cure all our un-eases.
...

My old dysfunctional friend
Knocked on the door again.
I keep telling him I'm not interested.
But he is very persistent.
...

A tree ignoring me.
Standing quiet and stoically.
Knowing for decades
What we have to keep learning.
...

Oh God free me from this wretched prison.
My soul, bound to this body.
Chained to this earth.
Yet, honestly, who chains me but me.
...

Coy fish swimming sparkle as light reflects their colorful scales.
Their movements swishing mostly slowly
Looking for something unseen down under.
The film of water bends the light
...

Dark dreary December days
Mostly gray and white
The atmosphere depressing.
More night than day
...

Alas laughter
A release of the soul.
A burst of insanity.
Does anyone know?
...

I have a brand of English muffin that I really like.
How is it English, is this the language he speaks?
This type of muffin comes circular,
But I beg to differ, rectangular would be better.
...

Leaves in the fall have a life of their own.
They dance they swirl they can never go home.
They don't act like someone who's life is done.
They live in the moment again and again.
...

I don't recognize this container I'm in.
Where did it come from and when?
It happened overnight, I thought I had time.
I thought I had braced myself for this inevitable transition.
...

Humanity has become intelligent enough
To create scientifically advanced mechanics
To annihilate life.
Yet, not smart enough
...

Oh God free me from this wretched prison.
My soul, bound to this body.
Chained to this earth.
Yet, honestly who chains me, but me.
...

It's a beautiful sunny warm October morning.
Unusually warm for this time of year in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
I've decided to drain the pool.
The sun flickers beautifully off the water.
...

I soar across a summer sky
Singing softly as I fly.
My feathers flutter on the wind.
This invisible gas whipping and whirling around me,
...

My mother-in-law and father-in-law
Lost their daughter Suzy on June 2nd 2015.
It was a Tuesday.
I'll never forget.
...

I was nervous it's been a long time since I've done this.
We met at a public space, simple,
The building the epitome of modernity.
It was light and clean inside,
...

My dearest Hannah
Her name a palindrome.
Her pure heart so loving and smart
Being with her is so comforting like coming home.
...
