Healthy, Wealthy and Wisecracks
I give thanks for good health,
a wealth of family (biological and chosen)
and wisecracks, mine or others.
After all, laughter is the best medicine.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a lovely holiday.

Become One
Become One
The sky lays down on the lake.
It doesn't make a splash.
The action seems like happenstance,
but it is guided by the sun.
The area it covers turns
bright blue with patches of white.
Branches poke through the clouds.
Ducks and geese swim on the fluff.
The surrounding water sparkles.
This is the beauty that is created
when two elements we thought
could never come together
become one.

Layers
Layers
I give too much weight
to the top layer.
I should take the time
to learn about the ones
that are underneath.

The Last Leaf
The Last Leaf
The others are gone.
I miss watching them wave
and then waving back.
I crave the closeness,
the daily contact.
My turn will come soon.
I am not immune.
I can't hold on forever,
but today, I will try my best
not to fall.
This is a persona poem.

New Heights
New Heights
I won't turn my back
and ignore you.
I want to talk
face-to-face.
The conversation
won't be light, but
out of the darkness
may come something
that helps us
reach new heights.

Still Matters
Still Matters
I stay still
no matter what
goes on around me.
I let my thoughts
have their say
without getting
in their way.
Often, I find
my next move.

Overwhelmed
Overwhelmed
The grayness
overwhelms me.
Then, I see
the sun break
through the clouds.
My spirits rise.

Are You Ready?
Are You Ready?
We have come to
the end of a journey.
A new one will begin.
Are you ready to
get started?
