Tater Tots and Filthy Air

Tater tots and insta-pots never lie but they do lay.

Porcupine quills offer a new definition of stuck.

Dirty filthy air. 

Eternity can be relative.

Litanies of paperwork always creates frustration. 

When fires grow large enough, only nature can put them out…

Take That Walk!

Talk a walk

All alone

Spend the time

Lose your phone.

Go be free

Get outside

Stretch your arms

Let them glide.

Music plays

Stress be gone

Hum your songs

You’re a swan.

Love yourself

Very much

Continue on

Move a bunch.

See the trees

Smell the grass

See fleeting

Moments pass.

Here’s the one

Favorite song

Press repeat

You belong.

Nature thins

Back to life

The city

And its strife.

Head back home

Walked, three miles

Proud, yourself

Many smiles.

Remove shoes

Take off socks

My feet hurt

Like sharp rocks.

Back to work

Write things out

You know what

It’s about…

Moments Come and They Go

Flowers ebb in the breeze

The air is filled with motion

Clouds wisp by

I close my eyes.

So much beauty here

Lots of movement in the trees

Such a lovely afternoon

I suddenly realize.

I let out a gentle sigh

This moment won’t last

It unfortunately, must end

I feel, a small disappointment, rise.

Alas, time, we cannot freeze

No matter how hard we try…
