life notes; flaws and all

a daily breath...

A thought du jour, my daily breath includes collected and conceived observations, questions of life, fortune cookie philosophies, reminders, messages of peace and simplicity, unsolicited advice, inspirations, quotes and words that got me thinking. They may get you thinking too . . .

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

Writing Poetry
Posted on April 4, 2021 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

Absurdity or reality: can
it not be one in the same?
Honestly.

                        It is poetry,
as simple or as elaborate
as it may be.

Emotions or messages
blurred across the page.
Accurate.
                        Insightful.
Heartfelt: if you believe.

If you look,
you will see         poetry.

It is honesty.

A Void
Posted on April 3, 2021 by j.g.lewisLeave a comment

Naked trees,
vacancy in our landscape.
We abide,
patience tested, winter’s
protracted wrath.
Waiting
for the warmness
encouraging growth,
and colour, and
inspiration.
Spring denied,
a void in our lives.
In the meantime
we survive
with an extra sweater, or
two, cold hands, and
the hope for change.
