When it’s not right, we see
only what is wrong instead
of trying to make it better.
Look past the faults.
See possibilities.
Keep moving forward.

Look
Mondays are just young Fridays
So, I make mistakes.
An oversight or three, here and there, or an error or lack of judgment can (and will) happen. My lack of foresight simply happens.
We do not learn from our mistakes, but rather we learn from the experience.
You cannot prepare yourself for all probabilities knowing a mistake is a likely possibility.
Pay attention.
Experience comes from noticing what you are paying attention to.

That Moon
Maybe this Moon
with the power it bleeds
will illuminate more
unnecessary violence
and greed.
Maybe this Moon
has memories
it simply cannot forget.
Some of us will relate
while others regret.
Maybe that Moon knows
what it is all worth
and sets an example
for those looking up
from this earth.

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

As It Will

Winter will not wait
for soft scarves, warm parkas,
or Mom’s hot chocolate.
Mindful of nothing, but itself,
Winter comes as it goes,
as it wants, as it will.
Unexpected, unexcused,
an unrepentant breath leaves
a deep trail of icey footprints
across our psyche. Winter waits
for when we are most vulnerable.
Winter cannot not wait.
