NotNottedNots

~ Harlan Didrickson

How many of us

Upon reflection and review

Of mirror pantry account

Shelf home and garage

Of love sex and affection

Friends expression and popularity

See scarcity and nots

Not enough not exactly

And not anywhere near

Not right not near(ly)

And certainly not long

That silly little word

Always makes almost everything

Into a woeful nothing

What if by not notting

By unnoting the ball

That you call life

You have plenty more

Much more in fact

Than you’ll ever need

Let the have nots

Keep their nots tightly

Notted misery loves company

HopeFull

~ Harlan Didrickson

Lord I prayed am

I to expect to

Live life on one

Knee bowing to others

Only because they’re stronger

And then the heavens

Opened and a finger

Touched my chest filling

Me with hope hope

The Lord said is

Mightier than strength for

Even the strongest grow

Weak but the hopeful

Carry themselves to victory

LettingGoes

~ Harlan Didrickson

Life is a series

Of let goes of

Growing up and growing

Out and growing beyond

Leaving things whether friends

Or beloved friends or

Even more than that

Stings but imagine being

A tree imagine watching

The most beautiful part

Of yourself that thing

That made you Tree

Turn and blow away

We all are just

Trees remaining strong despite

All those letting goes

SpringRoseFine

~ Harlan Didrickson

I prayed last night

For the Universe to

Send me a man

Like the trees pray

For spring to weaken

Winters grip I needed

Just one one simple

Hello to blossom like

That very first rose

To remind me that

Life will be Fine

OooooScary 🎃

~ Harlan Didrickson

Know what makes a

Jack-O-Lantern scary

It’s not the face

That has been carved

But the candle flickering

The same with people

Those with the brightest

Hearts with the whitest

Purest and warmest hearts

Both attract and repel

Almost all of those

With their own brand

Of deadly darkness inside

They’re the ghoulish ones
