Here I stand
coffee in hand
gazing at the
early morning moon
up there cold
and all alone
like me now
are we siblings
you the older
sister and me
the baby brother
what wisdom do
you have say
I will listen
for you have
been around this
world far more
times and seen
far more things
than I have
what say you
as I thought
nothing but goodbye
see you tomorrow

TreeVsLeaf
It’s funny now
that I think
about my life
how people admire
my own wanderlust
and my freedom
to just go
but there’s something
to be said
for being the
tree rather than
the rolling leaf
oh sure being
a leaf has
its good days
but having been
everywhere often means
having been nowhere
really really nowhere
that means anything
but being a
tree means being
somewhere somewhere forever
and that somewhere
is always there
It’sFallY’all 🍂🍁
Things are changing
even dogs know
noses pointing north
something is coming
people do too
they rifle through
closets cedar chests
clothes hooks too
are beginning to
feel the weight
of heavier things
sandals and sneakers
too being replaced
everyday things too
much less ice
and more warm
maybe even hot
it’s fall y’all
time of leaves
and barren trees
and of cuddling
and frequent canoodling
of being closer
than close together
Agitated
I feel like
a wash machine
filled with dirty
clothes churning churning
and constantly agitated
trying to desperately
rid myself of
angrily slung mud
grrring and determined
for hours on
end only to
find that while
the dirt may
be gone the
stains always remain
WesternRangeAutumn
I am now
three seasons in
and ready for
my fourth the
fourth being the
most majestic of
all here in
the Rocky Mountains
and I like
a child waiting
gleeful and giddy
for the mountains
to erupt in
red yellow orange
changing from the
lazy humpback whales
swimming up and
down the coast
into Chinese fans
flicking their colors
with such abandon
again happily alive
