Night falls upon the city streets
and tucks us into bed.
Then morning spreads its waking light
and nudges us ahead.
Thanksgiving
We offer thanks for many things.
We’re lucky.
That is true.
But most of all,
when we give thanks,
we give our thanks for you.
Armistice, 1918
There were men who fought
–and some who died –
to keep our country free.
And some of us remember them.
They live in memory.

November Moon
I see the moon in the darkened sky—
clear and bright as it passes by.
I see it with such clarity –
I’d like to know:
does the moon see me?
Mercury in Retrograde
Mercury’s in retrograde,
we’re ripe for Accidents…
for Mis-Communication…
and for other Bad Events!
As mortals, we must mind our steps
and cast a wary eye,
and pay attention carefully
‘til Mercury speeds by!
Blessings
Today I’m counting blessings.
I started out with One.
The numbers keep on growing.
Could they reach up to the sun?
I guess I’m pretty lucky
for I’m very far from done.
My day is growing lighter.
Isn’t counting blessings fun?
November Morning
It’s a cold November morning.
Moonlight traces splotch the ground.
Sunlight’s stirring ‘cross the mountains.
And the silence is profound.
This Day
This day’s a precious gift to us.
Be watchful how you use it.
Each moment ticks our life away.
Use care not to abuse it.
Today
Step out today in peace and love.
Go forth in harmony.
And be the very image of
the world you’d like to see.
Winter Chill
I I need some thermal underwear
and booties for my feet.
If I don’t get warmer clothing,
then I MUST turn up the heat!
