​strolling

the woods

A toast

5/14/2023

 
​Here's to life, 
Forever and ever, shorter and shorter,
Crave for more
But there's no more
What's out there, 
Nobody knows
A wishing well of heaven or hell,
Or nothing else
Are you prepared or are you not?
Does it matter or does it not?
Simple questions
And yet, no answers.

Life masks

5/14/2023

 
masking for months
and then for years
smiles hidden, tears concealed
caring for others
that’s who we are
patience and empathy
roll into one
just helping, supporting
and honoring
the ones who live
and the ones who had lived

Winter rose

5/14/2023

 
Winter rose...
I'm hardy and strong, beautiful and red, 
Do your damnedest, Father winter
Bring it on, Mother ice
Petals frozen, I'll survive
Now, it's Spring
Living in heat
Fighting the humid
Petals wilting, can't survive
So I cried...
Goodnight world, goodbye friends
I'm done! 

    Welcome...
