Sitting here, eyes shut,
Not awake, not quite asleep,
Hoping not to dream.
29 November 2016
The long weekend's gone,
And my normal life resumes
Tomorrow morning.
27 November 2016
Sorting through photos.
Remembering places and
People I was with.
26 November 2016
Grateful for my life,
And concerned for my country...
Hoping for the best.
24 November 2016
Watching the light fade
The sky changing color and
Night is upon us.
20 November 2016
Bitterly cold winds
Pushing against my car door,
And I can't get out.
19 November 2016
Sitting
and waiting,
I realize I’m dreaming,
Strange experience…
17
November 2016
Watching the leaves fall,
Caught by the wind, swirling in
Their annual dance.
16 November 2016
I'm thinking too much,
And reading too much, waiting
For consolation.
12 November 2016
Watching the sun set,
Sky orange and red behind
Ridges of black clouds.
11 November 2016
In the midst of death
We must still go on living.
"That's how the light gets in."
10 November 2016
On this fateful day,
The dog wants to kill squeakies.
She's without a care.
8 November 2016
A
November night.
Lights shine from a distant house.
The moon overhead.
4 November
2016
Well past midnight, and
Fireworks are still exploding,
To chants of "Go, Cubs."
3 November 2016
November begins,
And all around me I see
People wearing shorts.
