Sunshine on Sunday
Soon to be Monday
Look forward to some day
Focus on one day
The one I am in

Morning breaks
And we awaken
Until the sun sets
The night is forsaken
We breathe in the new
And think about bacon
But we try to be vegan
So that option’s not taken
I wish bacon was a plant

At a cafe all alone
Without a poem
Imperfectly arranged
to be
a part of living
And looking for the good stuff
And hoping that is enough

I’m not bereft
Because I’m not deprived
…feeling quite happy to be alive
Although if I weren’t alive
I never would know
and happiness and contentment
would have no place to go
But I digress…
At the moment I am in…all is well
What happens next…
You never can tell!

What am I thinking?
Am I thinking at all?
Why am I not writing?
Not hearing the call
It can’t possibly matter
if I write
or I don’t
No one will protest
if I will
or I won’t
….but I will…
…eventually…

If it’s not worth doing it badly
Is it even worth doing today?
Can I struggle and play and discuss it?
Without getting lost in the fray?
Might have to be willing to fail
Might have to be willing to fall
Who Knows? but I’m playing
with pencils
and colors
as if it doesn’t matter at all
ll.

Playing around with paints on a tile
Takes my mind completely off of me for awhile
This little bird looks a tiny bit shy
something in the shape and the look of the eye
it turned out that way and I don’t know why
