Week 50, Day 345 – “Lights”

Lights

simple tungsten
is easiest to read by
daylight in the office
keeps me happy
and strobes create
beautiful photos
but none of them
compare to the light
that you bring to my heart
when i think
of Chicago
on the steps of the art museum
lions watching over us
when we first met

Week 50, Day 344 – “Play”

Play

press play
and the game
gets started
best scores
are up for grabs
and fun days
of endless summer

Week 49, Day 343 – “Afraid”

Afraid

i am just a mazed rat
looking for a purpose
may i have some cheese
please?
can i come to you for direction
as you sit high on mount
looking down from a better view
wisdom that comes from
seeing the world a little skew’d

Week 49, Day 342 – “We Are Earth”

We Are Earth

wet, wild, loving
our lives revolve and evolve
spinning ’til dizzy

Week 49, Day 341 – “Just Yesterday”

Just Yesterday

seemed like the clouds were in reach
and life’s rocket was about to launch
no limits, no pessimism, no holding back
got up early because I was so excited to get started
and once started never wanted the day to end

today I rested

and tomorrow?

Week 49, Day 340 – “Darkness”

Darkness

darkness has no depth
just a hope that there is more
but no promises

Week 49, Day 339 – “Dangerous”

Dangerous

elephants knock the oil barrels
crashing down the hill
monkey screams and runs
trying to get out of the way
lion laughs
and laughs and laughs
giraffe just watches
from above the fray

Week 49, Day 338 – “Sight”

Sight

blessed with sight
and seeing you
makes me a happy man

Week 49, Day 337 – “Illusions”

Illusions

best of times
are an illusion
that we believe
in order to get by
and everyday
we forget the bad
and mediocre
in hopes that
the best days
make up a good life

Week 48, Day 336 – “Stars Are Out”

Stars Are Out

dresses primped
and flash bulbs pumped
as miss excitement
walked the runway
9 months pregnant
waiting to squeeze out
too hot to sweat
dying of thirst
come home doctor
and save my life
