not done, the same
conditions can indeed
change when I put the strong effort
in place.
11/11/2017
I try
to keep in mind
why I must hold on to
my passions, knowing that life is
not done.

and floods batter
the island where family
and friends reside, throwing them in
darkness.

directed toward them, ready to
unleash.

again.

promises and stresses
as I continue to weave through
my path.
08/01/2017
Sitting under blue skies
earlier today,
Soaking in warmth,
a glow I missed yesterday
Due to ill health, and now
I relax and take in
The sounds; birds singing
their summer tunes,
Deer rustling in the grass,
resting with their young.
I close my eyes and take in
the sounds of summer.
07/31/2017
Revived,
coming to grips
with my situation
as the wheel of life rotates with

wrong path.
05/12/2017
The train to the city
slowed to a crawl, then stopped.
A packed car forced to wait
until the lone track used
For the weekend is clear.
Its passengers journey
To various journeys,
their thoughts drifting to prompt
Arrivals rather than
fighting with each other.
They all share one track with
discussions, laughter, life.

1/28/2017
Years have gone by,
and the urge to write
Never ceased; it did not
crawl into a dark space,
Left to wither and melt.
My desire to write
Has grown as months
passed by, made louder when
My collection circulated,
maintaining its clear call
As my days continue.
1/22/2017
Heading
to a day of
poetry and friendship,
sharing with a beloved colleague,

better.
1/12/2017
It's the warmth she offered
as she laid on my lap
Is what I miss the most;
sitting patiently in the kitchen
For a meal or some
petting behind the ear.
She lived a long life,
yet it still wasn't enough,
As I still think of a spirit
youthful and free
On the other
side of the bridge.
1/10/2017
Always
very peaceful
to the morning, captured
in the smooth sheets of ice coating
the ground.

The sun shines over
a landscape painted with white,
stretching out for miles.
1/8/2017
That moment when
he tells me
'I feel like I'm in heaven
when you open that door'.
My heart sings,
your sweet words of
Devotion guiding my way
through the stressful times,
My soul leaving no room
For sadness.
1/7/2017
Now some
relaxation,
two days of ignoring
my alarm clock, until Monday
creeps in.
1/6/2017
As I construct my board,
I skim through my chosen quotes;
Words being a matter of life...
never feeling defeated
in the midst of defeat...
These words sang in my heart
in years' past, opening the door
To my soul; living, thriving...
how that music silenced
remains a mystery.
My board reflects a vision
waiting to reawaken.
1/5/2017
The peacefulness of
the morning, scattered by sounds
of the work commute.
1/4/2017
I approach the
small brick building
with trepidation;
Its windows exuding light,
yet it shields the negative
beacon within.
I unlock the red door,
readying myself to fight
the wave of jealousy
Hiding behind the
inviting red facade.
Waking
to congestion,
yet that does not stop me
from getting ready for a new
work day.
1/3/2017
All I've desired
lies a few feet away,
where my kindred rests,
painting the branch in a
crisp shade of ivory.
A gentle breeze guides me
toward my final destination,
as I join the others onto
my new, slender home,
resting my limbs,
blending in wintry life.
1/2/2017
A new day glows;
cloudy, yet still
Shining brightly,
bringing promise
of treats laying within.
Life has a way
Of delivering new
surprises. I am not
Sure if I am prepared for
another jolt to the system,
Yet I think that is how
life operates,
Bringing people surprises
when least expected.
