The Way We Go

THE WAY WE GO

we linger
a moment longer
with each step
down the walk ~
neither wants to say goodbye
in case it’s the last

Drought

DROUGHT

Dry, parched earth…
yearning, thirsting for
just one sip.
Evening storms
skip by. I’m left with mourning,
my hopes over dew.

That’s The Spirit

THAT’S THE SPIRIT

It’s easy —
what’s not to believe?
You feel it —
don’t you!? ‘Cause
the Mr. (Claus, that is) says
it’s in each of us!

Dream World

DREAM WORLD

lost
in
thought, i
drift into
the world of my dreams
where my words are blended into
verse, only to be
lost in my
wake a-
gain
thoughts.

Full

FULL

My
days are
filled with work…
phone calls, emails, meetings.
All clamoring for my attention.
At home, more work is waiting…
dinner, dishes, laundry, a garden to weed
and mouths to feed out in the barn.
Meanwhile, April calls. Thoughts turn to poetry. Composing lines
in my mind, yet writing less than intended. Life is
full.
