Snowy Interval

Our winter is right around the corner
And the thought takes me back
To when we found ourselves
Last time around
In the coldest of days.

Even in those harshest of elements
In the coldest of all the months
I couldn't feel the chill
Because between your smile and your words
They were the best of days.

And just like the unpredictable Alberta weather
The storms rolled in
I tried to stand my ground
Withstand the worst of what it could throw
Until I found the peace to know the storm was me.

The summer months were devastating
The air was dry
The sun was unrelenting
It was a record year
But the chill in the empty hole was all I knew.

The leaves have been falling awhile
The mind wanders when unchecked
Smelling the weather changing
Has the heart reeling
For another one of those great snowy intervals.

Washboard Blues

My favourite saying of late Is that I wanna cry. The world has been crumbling around The people The state of affairs The disbelief. I say the words Jokingly But there's a piece of me That would kindly accept A tear... Or two. There have been more days Than less That I could use a reset button. I would start it all again, There are times where I regret Everything. If I wanted to live with no regrets I probably could have done more I probably could have said more I should have meant more. Morbidity Mortality Time... All things weighing me down. There's this sudden end It's coming soon Sooner for some Not soon enough for others But it's coming. If I was to go right now Away Gone Left it all behind... I don't want anyone to think of me After the fact. I don't think many will Some might A passing glance Something to do But I'll be gone Somewhere more To where I'm supposed to be. Africa Asia Europe Or Beyond. I haven't quite decided Yet But I will.

Not Yet

I'm trying to resist It shouldn't really happen I don't even know for sure. It's a good thing Not knowing keeps me from falling Too far from too much.
