Until

~ ~ ~

I haven't written in a while.

Been busy with life and things that happen.

I am at peace.

At least for now.

The major storms of my life are over.

I think.

Now, to venture into the unknown.

The what to do now stuff.

Until I know for sure,

I will just enjoy each day.

Odd Time Of year

~ ~ ~

It's an odd time of year.

Wet and cold.

Looking forward to warmer days.

Hoping that the blooms

of last year

arrived again this Spring.

I am cold to the bone.

Need to warm this soul a bit.

Just saying ...

Today I Think Of Him

~ ~ ~

When I think of him,

I remember the smile.

Always a calmness to him.

Never did he yell.

I think he liked life too much.

I didn't know him well.

My memories have faded.

I think of a few and smile.

He made me do that.

I miss him sometimes.

Only in life we go

along the way

doing what needs to be done.

He did the same.

What needed to be.

I haven't thought of him

in a long time.

It's been that long

since he went away.

I used to talk to him

almost every day.

Just for a moment.

One day he was gone.

I liked him a lot.

He had a kind soul.

He was a simple man.

He was my Dad.

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.
