Just Like The Weather
Life can be good
Life can be bad
Just like the weather
You never know
what’s to be had
Seasons of joy
Seasons of sorrow
Just like the weather
There’s always tomorrow
Months turn to years
Years to a lifetime
Just like the weather
It stays on our mind.

This Spring is Better than Last
This spring is better than last
No point living in the past
Each new season is there for a reason
Life keeps changing, just rearranging

May Day
It’s soft and gentle, the first day of May.
The crabapple branches wave in the breeze.
The dandelions fluoresce in the spring sun.
The last of the tulips stand one more day.
The quiet surrounds, the warmth hugs – May arrives.

Saltwater Fun
Ocean breeze
Saltwater air
Make me feel good
So glad they share
Walking the beach
Sand between my toes
Being with nature
My joy shows
Find a few shells
See a crab on the run
Soothes my soul
Saltwater fun

Daylilies
Still blooming
Spring to fall
Daylilies

Standing firm
Tall and bright
Bursting buds
A pretty sight

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
nothing to say

The Joy of Flowers
Bright splashes of color
