When one gets
what one wants
getting isn’t nearly
as satisfying as
say wanting it
There’s something factual
in having something
Whereas wanting swims
in desires pool
it’s nebulous prone
to morphing changing
depending upon mood
That is why
said the genie
to the waif
Know precisely what
before you wish
for once granted
one forever has
And having is
worse than not

Imagine a life with
little or nothing except
insight and wisdom maybe
a very few comforts
a bit of this
a bit of that
but not nearly enough
to put together even
a simple recipe whether
it be meatloaf or
relationship so now what
Imagination the idea of
making due with what
one has and when
what has is insight
and wisdom everything else
becomes exactly what it
is meant to be
And not what it
was ever supposed to
NewOldBetter
I’d all but forgotten
having when I had
and now without I’m
realizing what little I
have now the busyness
of accumulation is for
the young and lives
at the end resemble
land fills having far
too much of everything
except the important things
We lose track of
what’s important when we’re
gathering having and keeping
But old is old
and new is new
and new becomes old
and old becomes better
RoadsEnd
It’s not that I’m
disinterested I’m just not
interested interested enough anymore
I’ve come to the
end of the paved
road and now I
must hoof my way
over the fields alone
No more onlookers no
more Tagalongs no more
inns or strangers homes
Just me with me
and no one else
MorningSmile
And on this chilly
Denver morning while sipping
coffee I watch as
the sun rises against
the mountains creating deep
indentations of the crevasses
the darkest of deep
which sunlight doesn’t reach
much like the light
of your morning smile
missing the pain of
our fight last night
