You

~ Harlan Didrickson

And I

Spied upon

My palm

A remnant

Of you

A bit

I’d forgotten

And when

Thought about

Brought such

Energy that

I forgot

About me

And remembered

You

Christmas (to Chloe & Mike)

~ Harlan Didrickson

So tell

Me where

A Christmas

Tree light

Starts and

Ends and

When it’s

Time to

Take all

The cheer

Down is

It after

Or really

After when

The paper

And ribbons

Settle or

Perhaps when

Glad tidings

Have gone

Heaven

~ Harlan Didrickson

And upon

You I

Stumbled and

Slipped to

Your mossy

Bank and

Dipped my

Hand in

Your cool

Water and

Drank once

Sated I

Listened to

Your sounds

Of life

And knew

Then that

I’d found

My heaven

LostFound (to You)

~ Harlan Didrickson ~ 2 Comments

Foraging through

Rich earth

Seeking that

Which I

Lost and

Failing to

Find and

There in

My dilemma

Realizing that

What I

Had lost

I had

Actually planted

And one

Day will

Bear fruit

Future (to You)

~ Harlan Didrickson ~ 2 Comments

Do not

Become a

False hope

All step

To a

Different drum

Instead be

A whistle

Or wind

Or horizon

For it

Is these

That men

Hear or

Feel or

See
