When my head is in the clouds,I lose sight of what stands before me.I forget where I am;I’m not sure of what I’ve done;Is that bad? Maybe…But, sometimes when the clouds clear;And I return to my present circumstances;There is a sense of purpose;An illumination;A clarity that can only be achieved,By having my head in theContinue reading “Head In The Clouds”

Sea Glass
Treasures hide beneath the waves, Searching for silver, ancient gold, Maybe some coins from ships of old. Walking along a storm swept beach, Plastic and garbage among the sea grass, With brilliant shine a piece of sea glass. Still a treasure in its own right, A broken remnant of origin unknown, Its ravished beauty standingContinue reading “Sea Glass”
Stagnant
The wind has failed me;Moored in the bay with sails furled;How I long to sail.
Heart and Soul
You are my heart and soul;Soul to soul entwined as one;One life shared by two;Two hearts that beat in time;Time that steadily moves along;Along a path that’s shared by two;Two paths diverge from one;One for me and one for you.You are my heart and soul;Soul to soul we’ll merge as one.
Wintry Day
I force myself to go out into the cold, bleak winter day.I suck in the fresh air and try to convince myself,that the bare trees are beautiful;that the brown mucky slush is fluffy white snow;that the dark low clouds are full of rainbows.My confident posture begins to droop;My head hangs low.Then the clouds part andContinue reading “Wintry Day”
Happy New Year
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.
