all right here…

Day by date, month into year, each letter adds up. Photography, poetry, fortune cookie philosophies, concepts, observations, unsolicited advice, messages of peace and simplicity; all right here. Daily, weekly, randomly demonstrating where I have been as much as where I will go and beyond.

nightfall

Does it take awhile for sleep to arrive

after you have slipped into your bed?

Do you have many pillows to comfort

your restless head. Do you pull up the

covers to feel warm and safe?

Are you the type of sleeper that remains

in place, or do you shift in the night?

What thoughts do you host, and do they

turn into dreams? Do you recall images?

Are they ever what they seem?

What would I see if I looked well beyond

your eyes? Would the sunset be visible?

Would I be close enough to see a fading

sky, even clouds that form as a day turns

into nightfall? Tell me, what would be in

my sight? Would you softy whisper gentle

words of good night? I’d let your voice

carry me away into the deepest thought;

I have many.

without thought

Observations, realizations,
immediate reaction to all senses.

To absorb it all is to uncover
what is within, without thought.

It makes its way from mind to page.
It recites itself without asking.

Life lives in the meter and rhythm,
naturally, if it is taken in. Poetry.

as it happens

Shall we take notice of events not

perceptibly evident amidst daily

crisis or chaos, yet nonetheless as

crucial to maintaining our balance.

   Not immediately immeasurable,

growth happens on its own. Yes,

conditions must be favourable, as

permitted, as it happens. It takes

little notice, yet you must. Try.

  Details; determination does not

disrupt our days but will heighten

our awareness. Mindfulness ever

isolates intention, however slight.

   Evidence always, as if proof.

   Growth waits for when the time

is right. Ardent speculation, even

mere anticipation, will not hasten

its pace. Growth will arrive in the

most certain, unpredictable ways.

acceptance

We must remain vulnerable, in

this uncomfortable environment,

to the needs of those around us

and to ourselves.

Sympathetic nature, beholden

to our ideals betwixt a climate of

anxiety, of angst and absolutism.

Fundamentally shifting between

the purchase polarity of the present,

acceptance of the past; the future

only knowing what holds us back.

Decency rarely offered yet, we

accept what is there. How can we?

Or; how have we settled for this?

enough


Teased, we were, with a few days 
of warmth, optimism, enough to melt away 
most of winter’s remains.

But then today, with plans in place, 
more unexpected snow or freezing rain.
Will Spring not ever arrive?

We need a break; we require the sun. 
We count on the seasons, yet we are shunned.
Again. Enough is enough

So, I will hang up my packsack, much to 
my dismay, and again leave my adventures for 
another day.

I’m like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.
