Arcade

~ Harlan Didrickson

Life is an

Arcade game where

With each step

And every level

You learn one

More thing and

Those many things

Result in prizes

I guess today

I finally won

The best prize

Of your heart

Lucky lucky me

Wishes (to Jay)

~ Harlan Didrickson ~ 3 Comments

I wish that

I wish that

I were there

Now not later

I wish that

I wish that

You weren’t lonely

By my being

There with you

God how I

Wish that wishes

Always came true

I wish that

I wish that

I could wish

For more wishes

So that you

Were always happy

I wish that

I wish that

Was my wish

And that wish

Would come true

GoodDog

~ Harlan Didrickson

I am much

Like a dog

I enjoy being

Teased and played

With petted and

Called patted and

Reassured invited onto

The couch bathed

And preened and

Fed and like

A dog I

Enjoy being by

Your side on

Wooden trails in

Snow and rainy

Afternoons but what

I like most

Is simply this

The one that

You turn to

For comfort when

You are sad

That’s my place

Next to your

Warm hearts hearth

SpringCameHere

~ Harlan Didrickson

Like the spring

Came to winter

The thaw began

And warmed everything

That turned cold

Life began again

With one door

And one smile

Followed by rains

Of conversation and

Laughter and cajoling

And I bloomed

Yet once again

Lost&Found

~ Harlan Didrickson

What pulls me

Forward is the

Same thing that

Keeps me back

Trying to find

Those same things

That I’ve lost

In the past

And hoping to

Find them now
