Month: March 2024

Sitting here alone,
I collect my tired thoughts,
and try to save them.

I am so grateful,
for this time to spend alone,
but have others near.

Photos of flowers,
and bright sunlight lighting them,
but the wind’s bitter.

I faded away,
I was there but wasn’t here,
and the sun just set.

I’m getting closer,
to those things I thought were lost,
but were always there.

I know it’s the time,
to now step up and step out,
with a mighty shout.

It’s bitter tasting,
with an after taste I like,
and it’s best drunk hot.

I’ve trouble in mind,
but the sun is gonna shine,
there in my backdoor.

Sounds round about me,
I can hear but do not see,
it’s just happening.

They are comforting,
but they’re sending a warning,
of the more to come.

I need a coffee,
and I don’t give an ‘eeffoc’,
until I get one.

Another coffee,
and I am just logging in,
now we’re on a roll.

Insoles for my shoes,
and I’m walking slower now,
arriving later.

There’s a sense of change,
the mornings lighter, brighter,
with springtimes flowers.

I hobbled along,
then my foot begins to hurt,
painful to my sole.

I’m falling apart,
and lnow it is just the start;
physical decline.

My knee is hurting,
from standing up from a seat,
and it simply went.

I hobbled along,
and trying to walk it off,
but the stairs found it.

Rainy days prevail,
steady rain and wind raging,
keeping me inside.

There is a feeling,
a real longing to get out,
now I’m feeling trapped.
