A Stone: One Daily Observation
Again I was awaken in the middle
Of the night
The light from the window
Made me think it was morning
The transition from night to day
Was a tender one
No dramatics this morning

Poets United
To sleep peacefully
Is the challenge
When there is a party
Going on
The loud noise
The bright light
The whole county aglow
Give up
Get up
No good night’s sleep
When the full moon
Stalks the neighborhood

Magpie #82 The Revenant
The Revenant
Through the veil
You move toward me
Lost in smoke
Did you come to save me
Elmer Gantry, Jimmy and Tammy
Charlatans all
Words used to fool.
The desperate in this world
Too tender for the struggle
The world’s greatest con
The deceit of Rome
The Grand Mothers
Sleep peacefully
Haven’t roamed the halls
In ages

Sunday Scribblings #284 Sensation
New Places
The idea of a new place
Can be a little scary
Or can be an adventure
A new point of view
You will have to count
The pickets on the fence
You won’t be able to
Go from here to there
With your eyes closed
As in the old place
The new place will be filled with
New sights and sounds
You’ll run your tongue
Along the railing
Everything will be different
Leave behind the old
Embrace the new
A doorway
That opens tomorrow
