Poetry

The mornings are cooler

as I sit outside

watching the cat

roam and explore.

He does his business

and I sip my coffee

while the quiet

reflects the fall world.

Except this is still summer!

What the heck?

I really hope this is just a joke

Mother Nature!

That feeling you get when you see yourself smile.

A bird that flaps lazily in the wind.

The butterfly that lands on your knee and rests for a minute.

Another person laughing.

That potato shaped as a heart.

The couple walking by holding hands.

An animal visiting you and saying hello.

Your favorite flower found in the middle of a field.

All of the above on a restful day!

Spiral into depression

only leads to injurious thoughts.

The world would be better off without ….

Society is so harsh on the people

it marginalizes.

Those already coping with difficulties.

If I lost myself in its hate

I would only end up buried underneath its scorn

and the rubbish piled on top of me.

The internet is no longer unbiased

Or maybe it never was?

Mentally able I can do all the chores.

Physically my body rebels at my abilities.

This dichotomy has me frustrated

since I still do the physical chores

and eschew the mental ones.

Just whining and complaining and hoping

somebody else would step in and help.

One is adventurous

the other is quirky.

If the leader says it is okay

the other explores more.

The fluffy one and the tall one.

Both are welcome in my lap

though they are quickly outgrowing it.

 

People change

and grow

sometimes together,

sometimes apart.

The ones that still

love you

no matter who you are

are the truest friends

a person could have.

For years to come

cherish them

for they are the true treasure of your life.

The Indescribable beauty of the fog

that wrapped the world this morning.

The peaceful stillness

that lay upon this Earth.

The quiet routine of those

getting ready for their day.

Somedays you are blessed

with beauties known

and other times

ones that  you learn to appreciate

in their rarity.

If you hit them

they will flinch

the next time you try to pet them.

If you only love them

even if they mess things up

they will only love you in return!

Or in this case step om ,y ke0yboooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Am I okay with being a temporary fling?

When I see the potential of so much more between us?

We feel right together.

Yet there are problems.

There are always problems.

Are these problems insurmountable or just annoying?

Should I push to have these worked out

or just ignore them and stay with the status quo?
