Blessings be with you today.

May friends be all around you.

May all your steps be sure and swift

and peace and love surround you.

Eyes are precious.

We get just two.

Treat them gently.

These have to do.

If I were a cat,

I’d take a nap.

I’d find myself

a soft, warm lap.

I’d lick my paws.

I’d groom my fur.

When all felt right,

I’d start to purr.

An autumn fog blots out the world.

The sky sulks  —  dull and gray.

A heavy chill spreads out its touch

as summer slips away.

Summer’s over.

Autumn’s here.

Getting colder!

Winter’s near…

We’re just back from the B Reactor –

the sobering “atomic factor.”

Rising from the sagebrush, tall,

a “hot”, reactive, pulsing wall…

Eighty years have come and gone

but this “hot” place lives on and on…

Generations not yet born

will come to gawk. 

And some wll mourn.

My cats prefer kibble.

It puzzles me why

they’ll pass on the wet food

and lap up the dry.

My candle burns for those who need

some comfort and some care…

for those whose hearts are troubled…

for those who need a prayer.

                                                               Y

This lullaby’s for Shannon.

May it ease her troubled heart,

singing through the gath’ring shadows

and breaking them apart —

making openings for rainbows

that glow with bright delight —

and letting  sleep with  peaceful dreams

hold  quiet through her night.

My furnace is a-chuggin’ away.

We’ve slipped from summer to fall.

I ‘spect that pretty soon we’ll see

old Jack Frost come to call.
