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

What is community?
Is it a city or group,
a place of refuge,
familiarity, or the
sense of belonging
we sometimes seek?
Home is part of a
bigger community
but need not be the
be all and end all.
There is more to a
community; there
is more in your
community.

It’s the warm light pouring onto the lawn from a lightly curtained window
The sky just turning azure
Crescent moon hanging low but rising
A few bright stars sparkling even higher
As crickets chirp their last autumn sounds
The people inside are comfortable
moving about
Their evening routine
Thinking of nothing outside that window
The neighbors all doing the same
Down that block of Ford built bungalows
Some darkened windows
Not even home
Some out back, smoking in the open garage…a moment’s silent peace
Even the teenager in his first car coming home
music rocking
All in their safe space

What’s outside your window?
