The morning seemed so different
And I just couldn't take it
Hurray
The bright, warm sun forced slits in my eyes
but I failed to notice
Hurray
The only conscious thoughts in my head
were those leading up to
Today
The hour it was endless
In dreams I was befriended
Today
All my troubles seemed so far away
as tomorrow had rushed in from
Yesterday
I'm sure to stumble, just as sure
As today is just tomorrow's
yesterday
The poem looks fascinating
and I haven't even seen it yet
this evening
Now just became Then
and Soon will be when,
this evening
None of this is a problem
If I remember to be here
Now

"Collectively Speaking, Something Serene"
Shortened days of Autumn splendor
when darkness seems to linger,
Crisp air breathes through hearts
beneath a canopy of azure skies
Gone, the heat of summer's sun
of sultry evening laughter
and in its place, a bracing wind
brings night a crystal clarity
so cold now, a Franklin fire heats
shadows conversing with memories
events collapsing in time, piling fast
against frosted holiday windows
a peaceful quiet beckons
the crunch soon underfoot
as paths of life are traced through
a crystallized maze of whiteness
synchronous seasons
stillness deeply woven falls
winter nymphs flutter Fate’s
mystery exhilarates
fresh blankets stir youthful hearts
joyous meanderings create memories
many melted away through time passages
as frigid elders fear this jekyll and hyde
the gloom of winter,
silence is deafening,
we await the Spring,
the wheels will turn,
wheels within wheels
their teeth interlocking
the majestic turning
of quantum mechanics
apogee/perigee
molecules quicken
snow dripping rivers
and sleeping things stir
when darkness seems to linger,
Crisp air breathes through hearts
beneath a canopy of azure skies
Gone, the heat of summer's sun
of sultry evening laughter
and in its place, a bracing wind
brings night a crystal clarity
so cold now, a Franklin fire heats
shadows conversing with memories
events collapsing in time, piling fast
against frosted holiday windows
a peaceful quiet beckons
the crunch soon underfoot
as paths of life are traced through
a crystallized maze of whiteness
synchronous seasons
stillness deeply woven falls
winter nymphs flutter Fate’s
mystery exhilarates
fresh blankets stir youthful hearts
joyous meanderings create memories
many melted away through time passages
as frigid elders fear this jekyll and hyde
the gloom of winter,
silence is deafening,
we await the Spring,
the wheels will turn,
wheels within wheels
their teeth interlocking
the majestic turning
of quantum mechanics
apogee/perigee
molecules quicken
snow dripping rivers
and sleeping things stir
first warm day
dirty window screen smell
tender sunlit leaves flutter
pillow on the sill, ecstasy

SNOW
And I dreamed there was snow in the mail
while the letters of an indecipherable alphabet
drifted silently from the sky.

Wind & wings to carry me home,
the grassy knolls await,
Wind & wings to carry me home
And I just can't carry it all.
