Life is hard- then we drop a stitch

Sometimes it seems life is nothing but hard.

We battle our way,

Not always bravely~ through the days,

No end to issues that fray our mind.

Crippled, diminished, overwhelmingly maligned.

Like knitting, unraveling as we’ve dropped a stitch,

So easy to toss, refusing to admit~ defeat.

Sagely we just keep following the pattern,

Hoping it looks like the gift to others we envisioned

when we picked it.

We Cannot Change. January 28 2014

Image

We cannot change the world.

We grow old before we realize that the world changes us

into beings who are sad but glad to leave.

Nothing is permanent here.

We cannot promise a better world

To the young who watch us grow old, broken,

Unable to change.

They have yet to realize

They cannot change the world

Autumn 2013

Autumn

Lying down to sleep

Yawning seductively

Harvest complete

 

Tucking

Her gilt straw blanket

Oh so snuggly

Around mossy feet

 

Plumping

Vast Earth pillows against

Leaf loosening winds

Winter’s heartbeat.

 

Wrapping

Her loving mother arms

Around  belly burgeoning

With Spring’s birth seeds.
