Static Equilibrium

When confusion is nothing, yet the subject at hand

Direction and meaning aren't safe to now land

Flux and its cousin, 'Doubt' were my guests

Waiting and showing me *static no less

Feeling the aggregate life I had planned

Hasn't found footing and isn't as grand

As those few horizons which popped into view

Thrilled and faded but then would accrue**

Now there's no fuel for my next brilliant move

Even though I haven't anything to prove.

Time on a Loose Rein

Playing life on a strange new field

Getting used to what appealed

As the best advantage in my range

For new focus on a different stage

Waiting, saving, kept away

From what I've awaited and

What I've craved

Treading fine on simple taste

Recreating, avoiding waste

Except for time 

Which takes its liberty

On a loose rein it runs around

As I attempt to keep it bound

Rearranged outside my hand

Not revealing its new plan.

Two Introverts Meet

I rode my bike to get the mail

Then down the street just past the courts

I met a tortoise; my first, if truth tell

Here was a self sufficient being alive

Right near my age I could tell by his size

He was moving quite quickly towards where I had come

We watched each other coyly from the sides of our eyes

I hid my exuberance so as not to disturb

He crouched ever slightly just in case I changed course

We both are survivors with all that we need

He with his shell and me now with glee.

The Perfect Peach

The end of summer is surely reached

When one can enjoy the perfect peach.

When the Blossoms Fall

When the blossoms fall

We'll drop it all

Go sit down, adjourn, not think

Play some cards, enjoy a drink

It's social time go get a chair

Enjoy the breeze and get fresh air.

To the Point

I don't want to know your story

I don't want to comprehend 

I want to share some observations 

Based on where we stand.

Celebrity of Spring

The tree stood before the stormy sky

Dressed in vivid green lace

The spotlight of setting sun

Lighting her with orange and gold

Like a celebrity of spring

A hostess of those who migrate and sing.
