Sing!
Dance!
Move!
Get going, get living!
There’s music to be shared,
Moves to be made.
Smile,
Laugh,
Play!
Life is too short,
To waste another day.
Droplet
28 AugWater running down,
A brown dirt alleyway.
I soak into the soil,
And rise into the stems.
I journey to the tip of a leaf,
And fall back down to the ground.
Running with the water again.
For Hamilton I
27 AugSoft little rosebuds smile with glee,
There is no other that can make happy as he.
His blue green eyes, light brown hair,
His cheek are his father’s, and so cute, it’s not fair.
How did I manage to become so blessed?
Especially after horrid moments left me without rest.
I knew his name, I saw him play.
That’s when hope restored me to love another day.
One of the Few Things
26 AugPop, sizzle, fry,
Thud, slice, chop,
It is one of the few things,
That can reach all your senses.
Sometimes it satisfies,
Sometimes it’s sickens,
Sometimes, there’s not enough.
It can portray a personality,
Character, and culture.
It can create wars,
Or ties that bind.
Sitting down, standing up,
With your fingers or a fork,
It’s a language we can all speak,
And enjoy.
One Day Break
25 AugI need a break
Just one day
I promise I won’t be far away.
Time to recharge,
I’ll think of what to say,
I can’t help but write for you anyway.
Porch Sunrise
24 AugThe sky is still dark,
A cool breeze blows in.
Turning it colors,
Black to blue, orange and red.
Birds call across the forest,
Crickets sing their last songs,
They all know it’s coming,
The arrival of dawn.
Then the sky shines in white,
Then yellow through the trees,
It’s the beginning of a morning,
Another day to be free.
Pleading for Fall
23 AugThe sunset has shifted,
There a little crisp in the air.
Could it be? No, not yet.
Fall isn’t still quite here.
I’m so tired of sweating,
My clothes, hot and sticky,
I can’t wait to wear a sweater,
Or bear to have clothes even near me.
Let the leaves change slowly,
Let the temperatures drop fast,
Let’s leave behind the humid misery,
And bring fall, and cool, to last.
