2019!

[sasha]

mourning doves
the dog takes issue
with their presence

[judih]

wind and turbulence
small figure cuddles in sheet
dreams of stormy nights

[sasha]

golden dawn
treetops see the sun
I cannot

[68degrees]

one, two, three, four, five
seconds to realize time
cannot be your friend

[judih]

one alarm clock
two ugh-people arise
excitement re-sparks

[judih]

dream catcher
empty pockets
ready and waiting

[saw]

anticipation
inspiration
drags its feet

[judih]

inspiration
long lost friend
on a walk-about

[judih]

a lifetime of gifts
smiles and affection
sunshine boy

[sasha]

aftershocks
side effects of the meds
urgent phone calls

long sleepless night
back pain, vertigo, sweats, chills -
gone by morning

tonight my friends
I shall sleep the sleep
of the just

[judih]

sasha
body recalibrates
after the storm

[judih]

one day's compassion
filters today's perspective
softer into morn

[judih]

so many good things
yet one less good speaks loudest
conscience remorse

[judih]

fabulous small babe
push-ups and smiles
heart reservoir peak

[judih]

a new morning
slow entry into a new year
one more espresso
