A dozen robins
In the yard, strutting around,
And looking for worms.

Music and books are
Ways I travel from this world
To a better one.

A squadron of geese
Flew by today, honking their
Way to who knows where.

Watching the sun set...
As it nears the horizon
It becomes a flame.

Early morning and
The sun climbs above the trees--
Slowly, so slowly...

Slipping on the ice
Outside our door reminds me
That I'm getting old.

Why do wake up
Just as I should be sleeping?
I sure don't want to.

Memories tonight...
Long ago and far away...
Looking at her eyes.

Snow began to fall
Just past midnight. Just enough.
The day will be hard.

I have memories...
Courage, "I have a dream," hope...
Does it end with death?

Snow swirls around me
As I walk down the driveway
For the newspaper.

Tiny red flashes
Across the yard, through the shrubs...
Winter cardinals.

Old, cold, and tired.
Winter is harder these days.
And nothing's easy.

White-out conditions...
Snow blows and drifts with the wind...
We become the blind...

Cold rain falls all day,
And I long for sunny skies.
Not any time soon.

Sixteen years ago,
I was blue as I could be.
Then...a light appeared.

I'm too tired to write.
Off to bed, to sleep, to dream.
At least I can hope.

Sleeping in the sun,
Her paws twitching as she dreams,
Our dog hunts squirrels.

Reading quietly,
Late night, a single lamp lit.
Satisfactory.

Dawn. Geese overhead,
Honking, flying who knows where.
Enough to wake me.

After days of clouds,
Sky so blue and sun so bright...
Ah, what a feeling!

As the day begins--
The first day of a new year--
Sun breaks through the clouds.
