Poem
A gentle sanity
often finds me while I’m writing.
And to the leaves that wave hello,
I see you. Along with my half-open window
and my typing sounds; the pauses and
daydreaming covers me nicely.

Poem
Praise should come
As the job happens
And the same goes
for neglect
Or the cheer is gone
and the shame not lived

Be Kind
“I’m the safest person you can sit next to.”
“Yea? Why?”
“I had Covid a few weeks ago.”
The pub wasn’t too busy. It was nice to sit at the bar with Megan.
“Are you feeling OK now? Were you very sick?”
“I’m fine. I was a little tired. Plus I was vaccinated a few months ago.”
“I’m glad you feel OK.”

It’s a complicated world. Be kind.

Things aren’t always what they seem
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Einstein
Poem
And with this
I saw you in my mind;
as real
as anything else.

poem
I think we blink,
not only to moisten our eyes,
But to capture an image
whether we realize it or not.

poem
You would think
that the top of a mountain
would be dry. But,
that’s just not how it works.
this world has a strong hold
on my mind.

Poem #Pros
Just got hung up on.
The man,
who hung up on me,
is hoping that I hire his
marketing firm.
He didn’t even bother to say hello.
Just accepted the call,
and waited for his opportunity to end it.
If he had said hello, he would have realized
it was the person he’s been waiting to hear from.
See,
I’m from away. But, I live here now.
Funny how locals can be brutal to
what they don’t know without knowing
what they’ve just done.
I could decide not to need his services.
Now that I’ve been hung up on.
But I’m not like that.
I’d rather chip through the hardened mud
and help to show that people from away
are just as good as the good locals.
And I’m not changing my number.
