not nearly as much volume
still arrived on time
conditions can’t be controlled
only choice is one’s response

hidden in the fog
the distant shores are unseen
don’t stop believing
sometimes what is real and true
lies beyond what we can see

always in motion
seeing the world on the fly
sometimes unfocused
well worth the time to reflect
to find goodness in all things

store by old workplace
twenty years have not been kind
neglect takes its toll
hope the years have been kinder
to the people I worked with

cat in the window
a thousand words aren’t enough
to paint one picture
yet thirty one syllables
to describe one of nine lives
Longing For Water
