And just sitting here
again at the start
of either something small
or something serious that
is yet to see
coffee and two cups
waiting and also wondering
if one cup or
the other will eventually
become yours sitting next
to mine in the
cupboard and touching just
as close as you
do when we’re asleep
Month: March 2023
Death
I have skirted death
more times than I
can count physical death
emotional death and spiritual
death and here’s what
I’ve learned about death
It’s just one door
in a hallway of
doors just one choice
made by the living
to stop their living
the way they do
Death isn’t the end
we think it is
Death is just one
more beginning the beginning
of the exact thing
we tried to avoid
that last shitty time
Welcome to your living
Now make it count
BeCrazy!
I believe in living
life not surviving it
People count on their
future for their happiness
so what does that
make today a dry-run
Do you expect to
practice life today so
that tomorrow when your
real life finally happens
you get it right
The only real life
is the one that
you are living today
Do something anything maybe
several things that are
crazy make some memories
Never be regretful for
a life you wasted
Art
Paint your life
with broad strokes
and let definition
up to others
Always be grand
full of color
warm and welcoming
and let others
decide what you
are for always
you will either
be their everything
or just another
painting passed by
MountainWallflower
As the night sky
lightens with the day
the mountains like teenage
boys seem to step
forward from the wall
and sheepishly ask me
to dance on this
late winter Saturday morning
on the front range
