The day sstarted early. The sun wasn't up Birds still sleep not a peep to be heard. I groaned as I listened to the 3rd level of of alarm clock sayings to get out of bed. I drug to the kitchen Coffee for to make Got a clean clear glass of ice water with which to awake and open the day. Twas time to... Sign in to see full entry.

One Bright Blaze After Another

Strike one with lightning Down the front of the yard, Before you know Another one struck in the back. One knows what they have so they think, But until you miss it, You never know how much you had. A week since the great storm A deluge of rain Eight and one/half inches in 24 hours Fell down to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Watching Her Grow Old

Growing older day by day. I watch the time pass away into the future. What once was easy becomes more difficult, And her vision becomes more diminished. She just reminded me that she does Not have a vision problem but an "old" problem! Something about her tells me time is running out. She gets older... Sign in to see full entry.

For the Love of Money

For the Love of Money What will a person do? For the love of another There is nothing limiting him As for the love of his her. Money, war, floods, and death Will not keep him from his mother or his betrothed. But for the love of money There are many expansive things he will do. It is just a matter...

Remember Those Days & Be Happy

Remember those days of swinging High Riding the swing behind the old school house. High up in the sky you could go The wind in your hair And your face all aglow. Not a care in the world except the next times to go Out on recess to get a break in the day. Everyone would take turns Going up high and... Sign in to see full entry.

Darkness Hiding

Darkness hides and yet forebodes Countless hours of untold woe, Though in the dark it lurks behind me, Like a vulcher in the night. I fear it will be not long finding, The victim of its ill woe. I scamper in the daylight, I pant heavily for breath, Yet this darkness follows me, Like a spike in the... Sign in to see full entry.

One Moonlit Evening

One Moonlit Evening Coming out the front door Took a look to the west And what did I see None other than the sunlit setting sun, with not too much left of light. Just that dull glimmering of whiteness Yellows and oranges peeping into the early night. The moon was hanging brightly White as the snow... Sign in to see full entry.

Time Doesn't Ever Stand Still

Moments start out slow, Not too fast to make one aware Of the significance of time. We are not sauntering along in the sky you know. We are flying at 58,000 miles an hour Going through space doesn't feel that fast. Yet it is that fast. I feel my life slipping by like the second hand on my watch. It... Sign in to see full entry.
