Hey! How are you?Happy New Year to you too!What’s your plan? What will you do?Start afresh? Start anew?Build upon?Continue on?Do your best? Take a rest?I’ll raise a glass;To your health;Peace and joy;Love and wealth.As we all let out a cheer;Full of hope for the new year.

Time
Time is such a mystery;A single minute that drags on for hours;An hour that disappears in the blink of an eye.Never having enough time; or,Having too much time at hand.Making the most of the time available; or,Wasting time in not knowing what else to do with it.Time that heals all wounds; or,Time that allows woundsContinue reading “Time”
Surrounded by Sea
Surrounded by sea;Is the place for me.I sit on my dock; On a chair I do rock;And stare to the west;To watch the sunset.I hear some fish jump;And feel the waves bump;While I sit there alone;Watch the boats head for home.As the sky turns to ink;The stars there do wink;And the sea transforms black;As itsContinue reading “Surrounded by Sea”
Where Is The Wonder?
Where is the wonder?The experiences that result in awe.The childlike joy of discovery.Amazing new places; sights unseen.Curious people watching for endless entertainment.Now I feel I’ve seen it all before;This place, that person.This day and the other running together.I go here and there;Do this and that;Yet, the wonder eludes me.
Inevitable
Too late to retreat.The trajectory is clear.Nature will prevail.
Writing Dilemma
Boredom reared its ugly head,So I decided to write instead,Of letting myself come undone;And thus resulted in Chapter One.Then life tossed so much my way,Tasks and commitments every day;I find I have too much to do;How will I ever write Chapter Two?
The Happy Pumpkin
There was a happy pumpkin,Until it got to school,And found it left its homework,At home atop a stool. There was a sad pumpkin,Sitting in its chair,Hoping that the teacher,Would forget that it was there. There was a surprised pumpkinWhen its mom showed up in styleAnd handed it its homeworkWith a wink and a smile. ThereContinue reading “The Happy Pumpkin”
Can I be?
Can I be a pigeon,or a gull on the beach?Circling the tourists,yet just out of reach.Hoping for scraps,they’ll toss out my way,or a dropped sandwich,will make a great day.Can I be a pigeon,or gull on the shore?Digging up clams,and searching for more.The life of a shore bird,is the life for me;So long as the toddlers,willContinue reading “Can I be?”
Me In The Tree
I lost my mother to Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma over a year ago. Her dear friends planted a Red Maple in her memory at a neighborhood park, where my mother enjoyed walking and bird watching. I had the pleasure of visiting the maple this week, just as the leaves are starting to turn. It reminded me ofContinue reading “Me In The Tree”
Psychological Inhibition
Why believe it cannot be done?Getting there is half the fun.See the vision and follow through;Find delight in something new.Why believe it’s been enough?Just because the journey’s tough.There’s yet so much to bring about;Take a breath, release the doubt. Why not believe the result is imminent?On the horizon, the reward munificent;The gift of releasing heartContinue reading “Psychological Inhibition”
