Been

It’s been a
long time since
I’ve been this
this not since
that this happened
and the cover
was torn off
funny then how
when could be
sees the light
what had been
falls into shadow
learning its place

Want

I’m at
the point
of want
need having
been quenched
and this
is precisely
when the
patience pays
its dividends
hurry not
to get
more when
enough will
certainly do
more never
satisfies needs
but only
grows greed

Early

I hear you 
two out there
conspiring making mischief
when will he
you both wonder
kettle and cup
oh now dog
too has joined
the kitchen chorus
bringing along the
cymbals of dish
and adding drum
of tail against
the bedroom door
is it time
yet they sing

Found

If you 
are looking
for anything
then you
have not
found peace
for peace
only happens
once gratitude
abundance and
prosperity exist

Day

This gray cold
never gets old
through the fog
I can log
my very steps
as I schlep
like some villain
fog or cloud
this mountain shroud
it even obscures
the soupy cure
of days bright
now dimmed sunlight
I mountain man
