why the longing
never satisfied
ever striving
breathe…
everything you need
is here and now

On Being Present – 42 Day 17
Tour de Force
tour de force
triumph
in grace thrusting
so to feel the sun’s kisses
the sprout bursts through concrete

Unaffected – 42 Day 16
Unaffected
I could lose myself
in the rain tapping on the window…plop…plop
mid-day drowsy, under fluorescent lights, strobing
I could, but I won’t
it has taken me far too long to find myself…
and this isn’t me…no, not by a long shot

42 Day 15
muted dawn and this
heaving, heavy,
wet-grey stillness
would that the rain would
come, blackening the sky
cooling us with its tears

42 Day 15 for Jane Dougherty’s Daily Poetry Challenge.
Hearsay – 42 Day 14
have you heard
the latest titillating
scathing, scandalous news
wise inquirers will
reserve judgment for
the horse’s perspective
