OneManAlone

~ Harlan Didrickson

I yearn to

Find my shadow

Gone since this

Cloud cover of

Despair made landfall

I yearn for

My buddy that

Joins me daily

On walks or movies

Or dinners but

Instead I’m shadowless

One man alone

OutForDelivery

~ Harlan Didrickson

And like a

Package promised yesterday

I wonder now

When my bell

Will ring and

You’ll be on

My doorstep oh

I know that

You’re out slaying

Dragons and fighting

Battles but wait

I do for

You my love

Are long overdue

Bump

~ Harlan Didrickson

I often wonder

If the fish

In the sea

Bump into each

Other while swimming

In the currents

Or is that

Something humans do

If so I’m

Lucky that we

Aren’t fish for

Bumping into you

Was simply humankindness

PresentFound

~ Harlan Didrickson

You are a

Birthday present that

I discovered nestled

In a closet

Surprised and tempted

I don’t take

But simply touch

And wonder what

Wonderful gift sits

Inside daily I

Peer in knowing

That one day

Soon I will

Unwrap you having

You then forever

More as mine

DayBreak

~ Harlan Didrickson

I awoke early

To sit outside

And listen to

The world awaken

First came birdsongs

Then the stirring

Of critters snapping

Twigs car tire

Sounds on pavement

And at long

Last the sun

A quiet time

This morning as

Day starts sleepily

In my town
