springs rebirth

Went for longest walk
On most gorgeous spring day
Traversed many miles
Felt a joyful way

I did not feel tired
So on and on I went
With no care at all
For energy spent

And I not only one
The neighborhood of glee
No hint of biting air
No snow and no freeze

The children came out too
Playing in the parks
Walking wagging dogs
Such beauty I find stark

The neighbors I don’t know
Friendly wave hello
They willing share a smile
Lack reprehense ,aglow

And playing in the yards
Robins of red breast
That friendly hop like child
And gather for their nest

The people all in shorts
Playing with their dogs
Who bark so playfully
Morose mood discard

The birds they sing their songs
And squirrels red and black
Who seem to dance in glee
Who feel no want or lack

The beauty of this day
Like the earth reborn
With love in the air
None feel lost forlorn

The grass returned to green
And flowers they will bloom
What majesty and grace
God’s creation true

The sun descends on day
Like perfect work of art
How can I be but glad
Destroying all that’s dark
springrebirth

new day

Woke this morning with the dawn
To a quiet home
Trying not to make a sound
Here sit not alone

Arose with my half closed eyes
Joyful duty prayers
Whispered quietly no sound
Devoid of all my cares

Made a coffee piping hot
Sipped slowly not burn tongue
Do not feel any pangs
Like someone ever young

Stared outside at window dark
Before the sun its rise
With faintest hue of light blue
Beyond the pain and lies

Waited more in the dark
Reading quiet verse
Scripture glean wisdom dear
Protected from the curse

And then the day it broke
With singing of the birds
The beauty of this land I swear
Beyond the absurd

The sun glory it rose in full
Evidence the lord
And then the sleepy household rose
Who whisper quiet words

The silence then broken away
With blaring of the news
Perhaps quiet if went to bed
And hit that cursed snooze

The birds my friends have risen now
They search for food and sing
The beauty and no wind
Miracle no snow spring

Family now are all awake
Who laugh as I write verse
Perhaps I am too pensive
Blessings, not a curse

Thinking of duties ahead
My plate is not empty
The duties bear down hard
Small bubble in the sea

spring walk

Saw three birds fly
Behind a dark cloud
2 birds perched on tree
Who seemed to sing for me

met a cute white dog
Who growled loud at me
With tail wagging in joy
Her name was lizzy

Walked with all speed fast
Before the end of day
With sun setting in haste
And train blaring its call

Breathed the cool spring air
What surprise no snow
The beauty of this land
I feel will never know

Ended walk too soon
For dark it frightens me
For fear I may trip
And end with bloodied knees

Then overhead
Far in the distance clear
A jet came close to land
Moon reflected wings

The squirrels played in yard
Red and bushytailed
Searching sustenance
So small so cute and frail

And then returned to home
To rest this achy head
And sip my coffee sweet
And think of days ahead

saturday morning

Woke on strday morn
After 12 hour sleep
Except a rise for prayers
Tired eyes and tired feet

The noise in house so loud
The cleaning and the din
Had a breakfast small
Coffee with a grin

Plan the day ahead
Searching for some mails
No excitement here
Patience small avail

Had some restless dreams
Memories of the past
Some comfort I did get
And stinging scars that last

Sat in front of tube
Idiot box its true
No cerebral thoughts
Just relaxing true

Searching for a love
Don’t know if we’ll meet
Less know If I need it
Am I incomplete

My fears for days ahead
Will I end in chair
Or run a marathon
Constant fight despair

I hobble sometimes slow
And shuffle with my feet
With flu harass me
Sometimes feel so meek

With better days ahead
Always in that hope
Despair want it not
Sabr longest rope
