I have
this sense
of dread
like someone
once here
is gone
a bellwether
or perhaps
a bell
in some
far off
belfry tolling
I’m waiting
awaiting now
this news
of my
next heartbreak

What started
as friends
has remained
as friends
though time
and distance
has taken
its toll
I know
how geese
do migrate
following honks
much like
laughter shared
with my
older now
old friends
Age
Life is
a series
of dreams
come true
and then
they turn
like leaves
into colors
facing wind
hoping that
whatever else
to do
is easier
than this
IdeaFamily
I know now
what family means
it is not
the relationship born
but rather chosen
it’s all wrong
this silly idea
that we’ve got
to tolerate others
to pretend to
make believe affection
family is who
you choose a
family did coddle
teach and show
but the moment
that you started
deciding anything you
began to choose
whom over what
this idea family
meant to you
There’sOne
There is
one feeling
that all
creatures understand
to learn
this listen
to children
laugh or
watch dogs
wag or
taste that
one long
awaited favorite
dish this
one simplest
emotion of
all is
just joy
