Me

One time a long ago,

I decided to be me.

Not someone else.

Just the one I am.

Had a grand time.

Jumped and hopped

to the tunes along.

Turned and got lost.

Lots of colors to look at.

Been walking that path

for a while.

Looked up and

saw the clouds.

Where was that sun of mine ?

It's me.

The youth be gone.

Old as the trees.

Never drinking in

the past that was.

Always trying to be

the me that I am.

Beginning

It is the beginning.

A wish for good.

The goodbye to old.

Nasty a bit this last year was.

I found peace in a lot of things.

The small quiet moments.

A laugh at the oddness of my life.

Who would ever think

that it would be like this.

Today, I clean.

Put this and that away.

A list to do.

I think of the new.

What will it be.

The toll last year took on me.

I am still worn out.

I laugh about that too.

I still have hope.

It is what gets me through.

To that and more.
