Twenty-twenty-three

The year?  It’s Twenty-twenty-three.

The months ahead?  A mystery.

But, crystal clear’s my wish for Thee:

a healthy, happy Twenty-Three!

Ozone Layer

The ozone layer is healing —

there’s a spot of hope in sight.

The nations worked together –

and something turned out right!

Somehow, I’d like to celebrate.

I’d like to dance a jig.

and shout it from the roof tops:

C’mon, World! This is BIG!

Winter Forecast

They say a swollen river of rain

has formed in the atmosphere.

It formed out in the ocean.

Plans to drop its rain right here.

They say that there’ll

be floods and slides

before the skies get clear.

They say to hunker down and wait.

It’s cold.

 It’s wet.

It’s drear.

The Candle

The candle’s flame is steady.

Its light is clear and true.

It stands a beacon for the world.

It burns for me and you.

Mother Nature

Mother Nature’s had enough.

She’s getting rid of Man.

The way we’ve ravaged Mother Earth

 is more than She can stand.

Coping with COVID

I’m vaxxed and I’m boosted.

My mask is in place.

My hand sanitizer is tucked

into place.

I still keep a distance

while waiting in line.

And some isolation is

suiting me fine.

I’m coping with COVID

as best as I can.

A lifetime with COVID

was NEVER my plan.

Wishes

Butterflies and rainbows

 and blue forget me nots.

Leprechauns and friendly folks

and other loving thoughts.

Useful days and quiet nights

and skies both clear and blue.

Hope and joy and happiness…

I send these all to you.

Winter Sun

The sun peeps over the Cascade peaks,

checking out the day.

It sends its rays in ragged streaks,

deciding if it will stay.

It doesn’t.

The Ship

There’s a ship in the harbor –

blazing with light.

It shifts with the tide

as it waits through the night.

COVID in the Neighborhood

I didn’t get COVID and

my neighbor got better

and our life is pretty normal on the street.

But I feel a bit chary

e’en outside in January

so I’m going to pull a mask up when we meet.
