my eyes got heavy
as I closed in on a thought
the two never met

Last Car
a thirty-year-old would
have never thought
what I just thought
I am convinced that
when you get older you
have older thoughts
which made me thank
God for life today as I
thought that it is
highly probable I have
purchased my last car
Haiku 39.20
for some Christmas thoughts
linger resting in the hope
of Easter ahead
Haiku 38.20
I stared at the page
I stared into space without
a thought in between
Haiku 36.20
the sounds of silence
grew louder than the drone of
a fan and my thoughts
It Might Rain
rain clouds hang in the
air making you think it
might rain
the local black and
white cat hides behind
the elm tree out my
window
the cat goes rigid but
whatever it was must
be gone because
the cat lifts and licks a
paw and when I looked
back the cat was gone
the sun made a dull
attempt to push through
barely making shadows
even so
rain clouds hang in the
air making you think it
might rain
Haiku 24.20
a summer day sneaks
back into the early fall
with the heat that left
Shadows in Life
all things are forgotten
by humankind
by time
by design
except for the memories
of war
of abuse
of pain
of suffering
for they are our own
they made us who we are
maybe not who we thought
we wanted to be
and what of the other memories
of joy
of love
of peace
et cetera
they cast light on the shadows
in life with hope for the life
to come
just like the knowledge of God
cannot be listed as a memory
Tomorrow
I was watching the
wind’s last playful
tug on the
disappearing day
wondering about
what tomorrow
might bring when
the phone rang. It
was the sound of
desperation looking
for work. My words
of “don’t lose hope”
seemed so empty
after the call. Maybe
not to him but to me.
All I could do was
pray about tomorrow.
Hope for tomorrow.
