Shell Among Starlight Glitter May 16, 2025 When does empty find the half cup? The bit of hope life can be full again. I touch my cheeks trying to find you, because people told us you looked just like me. Night is a gray pillowcase, shadows you once danced through to the kitchen, and a closed door you will never open again. Why is a sea that splashes me against the shore leaving bits of my shell among starlight glitter. I am learning to survive the hollowness in me, a broken hallelujah of a midnight choir. You are there in the untouchable I too will roam one day. Like the plants in your room I will drink light until I hear my own song of wings. ©Susie Clevenger 2025 What's Going On? ~ Grief Read more
Confetti of Magic October 11, 2024 We were four souls in a U-Haul watching snowflakes dance across the windshield. Change doesn’t often provide confetti, but on that winter night my husband, two small daughters, and myself were given the gift of magic that glittered us into a bond that could never be broken. With goodbye still stinging our lips we felt like the only ones the moon had forgotten as the truck’s headlights struggled to give us eyes in the blizzard. Out of the crackle of the dashboard radio words sang, “You have to believe we are magic nothin' can stand in our way”. In that moment Oliva Newton John gave us our hope song, our love song, our family song, our forever song. On an icy Missouri road mapped with a journey to Texas “Magic” told us it would keep us whole even when grief would leave us broken. ©Susie Clevenger 2024 Cynthia Dawn took her last breath to the song "Magic" on January 26th, 2022...the magic continues What's Going On? ~ Magic Read more
Sermon From a Photograph December 12, 2024 Today’s sermon is tea too cold to thaw the wind that ruffles a buzzard’s feathers as it stares through my kitchen window daring me to deny mortality. Today’s sermon is the sound of a television in the other room providing sound to fill empty space. Today’s sermon is a sweatshirt that smells like my daughter, gray sleeves helping me feel what I can’t hold. Today’s sermon is a picture on a shelf where she smiles from a photograph urging me to keep my eyes on blue sky. ©Susie Clevenger 2024 What's Going On? ~ Today's Sermon Read more
