Sitting on the deck

Hurricane Katrina 2005
Hurricane Katrina 2005
I watched the storm
the tragedy unfold
nothing to do
except be told.
They’re way down there
I’m way up here
they can’t hear me
shed a tear.
I heard about people
stranded and alone
no power, no water,
not even a phone.… Read the rest

Sitting on the dock
river flowing by
soft warm breeze
pretty blue sky.
Gentle sounds
peaceful day
quiet thoughts

Daffodils blooming – yellow bright
bulbs sprouting – wanting more light.… Read the rest
The Storm
The Storm

There’s a flash in the sky – a clap of thunder
you look at each other – start to wonder.
The wind picks up – the trees start to rustle
you gather your goodies – start to hustle.… Read the rest
A Gray Rainy Day
A Gray Rainy Day
It’s a gray rainy day
the flowers and trees
need rain, so they say.
I want sun
bright and cheery
warm and fun.
But sometimes my need
must take a back seat
not look like greed.
The world is complex
I’m not a lone
I’m not always next.… Read the rest
