Clouds move across the sky
causing the light to change.
I long to reside more
in the sky than in those clouds
that cause the light to shift.

A Possibility
If we were able
to transform the noise into
music, we could dance.

Squirrelly Matters
It wasn’t over
the food ’cause there was plenty,
but there was a tiff
and while others serenely
dined, those two chased, leapt, and climbed.

Deep Search
We gaze upward,
scanning the sky,
wistfully looking
for answers to
our deep questions.

Eureka!
Suddenly it dawns on us.
We might be
the intervening
variable we’ve
been looking for.

Come
Today’s sun shines bright
and the skies are clear.
Why cover this day’s sun
with tomorrow’s dark clouds
and the forecast of
high winds and heavy rain?
Let’s step outside and enjoy today.

Toward Day’s End
The sun made a brief
appearance before it bade
us a warm farewell.

Surprise
Sometimes the weather
is a quick change artist
and leaves us mystified.

Authors One And All
We fashion stories
to explain who we are
and how we got that way.
Sometimes we’re heroes.
Sometimes we’re victims.
Our stories can hold us captive.
Our stories can set us free.

Those Open Questions
My cat sits at the open door.
Won’t decide.
Go out?
Stay in?
Minutes pass.
She sits.
I sigh.
Will I close the door
on patience?
