Don’t mean that much to me.
Anything I have to celebrate is minor.
Not noteworthy.
Patriotism is too engulfing.
Birthdays are awkward.
Maybe I could throw a divorce party?
Or just hide in my room
and let the children weep.
Boss of the pits
Foreman.
Overseer.
Criminal.
The person who decides what work needs to be done.
Whether ethical or professional.
He is not a dog’s best friend.
Incoming
Do I recognize the number?
Is it identified?
Unknown remains unanswered.
Long distance only if I call them.
Scammers will not leave messages.
Usually.
So now I just have to remember to check the voice mail more often.
Losing the Love of your Life
Tragedy strikes.
Whether quickly
or seen in advance.
Neither are welcome.
Do you, can you move on?
Only time will see how resilient you are.
Sometimes Tragedies are simply Comedies not yet explored.
Waiting on a Fly Train
The future holds many possibilities.
Our imagination can take us there.
Technology is advancing.
Everyone is a number.
Take a seat and fly away today.
Kitten Rescues
The internet is full of videos.
Kittens and Puppies being discovered
In situations unbearable.
People caring for them.
New homes found.
Animals that are loved
Make many happy.
Vacation’s over
It wasn’t a true vacation.
We never left the house.
Work still happened.
Life went on.
We were just in our own bubble.
Limited to the walls surrounding us.
Now to conquer the fears
Of returning to reality.
Nicer Days Ahead
The weather is warming up.
People are seen more outside.
Friends greeting each other.
Neighbours waving Hello.
Animals prowling their territory.
The birds protesting.
The dogs insisting on their walks.
City life becomes more alive.
The greys of winter turn slowly green.
The brain processes happiness once again.
Piece of Mind
When the great fall
due to enemies from within.
I never understood
Why it was so selfish to think of yourself
When all you ever did
Was everything for everyone else.
Telling the world
You have problems
Doesn’t make you weak.
It makes you stronger
For those around you
See you as you truly are.
Human.
It is sad
To see someone lose to the struggle
Fought so bitterly inside.
I only wish
People also see
What that does for them
When the Great Fall
So that they can rise.
Restless
Too excited to sleep.
Thoughts jumble and turn
As the body resists the temptation
To relax.
The night will be a long one.
The coming dawn
Proves the day will be even longer.
