December 17th
More than halfway through the month again. This is the longest I’ve gone without downloading my thoughts in some form or shape. I haven’t blogged, I haven’t journaled. I haven’t really even taken time to jot a quick thought or poem down. Although I enjoy blogging daily, it has taken a backseat to the sheer…

Collaboration
On a day like today I find myself struck by how different a day can be depending on the circumstances with which it unfolds.

Outlier

Perhaps this isn’t my first go around this green planet, and maybe it’s not my last I’ve been an outlier, and outsider Different As a child others didn’t understand my meanings, not catching the sense of humour that was sometimes bizarre Even now, I teach…

Showdown
The hardest thing to do When each day is through Is to look into your soul To find your life’s true goal Each thought has its own weight Bound to you by the hand of fate It looks you in the eye And dares you to tell a lie Stronger than guile, Bursting through denial…

Early morning Pause
I sit, bleary eyes half closed. Trying to figure out my coffee maker which is set to magically go off at 4:30, so that the smell of the delicious beans will entice me to wake up instead of hit my snooze button repeatedly. I succeed and try not to trip over the dog who has…
