Come November
I must say
I am not
Looking forward to Election Day.
Smile too wide
Seems too snide.
Age has wisdom,
But truth be told
Is well, old.
So if there is to be hope
America, be clever
Before we
Pull that lever.
What change are we...

Going Back in Time

I went in my aunt's and uncle's house again. It is theoretically mine now, unless"unknown heirs" have a claim. Who knows?
The first day I went in after the funeral, it was to clean up. He had fallen when he had a heart attack, and the state police...

I don't usually. It is wasted energy, but...
Today, I want to.
I am going to gripe because I can.
I am irritated with people who are fair weather friends. She promised to go with someone to visit some new little shops.Then, evidently she forgot. ...

And God Let Me

Run about from this to that
Acting as if
Thinking I knew
Wanting to be true
And God let me
Keep trying my way
Heard me say
I can do it
I need to do it
My need changed
To bow my head
To cry
Lord, why?
I beat my head against it hard
And God let me...

I am
On the brink of being there

Tomorrow will reveal
A new there
Or an old there
Seeing is believing
Finding out a must
Not an option to not
I am

It will be my new

Cloistered

Why be? Cloistered? Shut away from the world? Well I am not exactly, but sometimes I need to be in order to find my voice, and to commune with God,and hear Him in silence, or in music, or in the words I write. Often He speaks to me through my writ...
Writing

Writing because
I must.
Tonight I am full of chords
My life is playing itself out.
Notes of this and that along the lines
Rhyming, waltzing across the page.
Only in the playing does it make sense as a song
So play it
I must.

Bluegrass Music
posted 5 months ago | 2 comments
Nothing does it for me like bluegrass. There is something so elemental to me in it that puts me in a state of mind I do not get any other way.And if I am already blue, it puts me over the edge. It can uplift me, or it can find a sad nerve that tra...
Spring Things

Maybe it is because I am older and have finally grown up......some...but I am treasuring this spring. All of it is amazing to me. Watching all of it unfold again for the 54th time is a gift. I waited with such expectancy for the first glimpse of t...
Surreality

Just doing the one thing must have tilted the scales or shifted the stream of life..
After weeks of no water, and bathing in the sink, etc. and being sick-tired, I got a room in town. I had planned to go see Shea today, then spend tomorrow morning...
