We Who Know

Just yesterday

was a teenager

who knew so much,

having to deal with

ancient folks  who thought

they knew so much more.

Now I am an ancient one

who knows so much,

having to deal with

teenagers who think

they know so much more.

Oh, The Places I Will Go

Sometimes if I speak

my thoughts out loud and listen,

I really have to

shake my head in wonderment

at the places thoughts can take me.

When Stopped

When stopped may I not

narrow my vision, waiting

only to go once more.

Just Testing

Some trees put out a

few gold leaves to tentatively

test the autumn air.

Who Knew?- Day 51

I never thought I’d

see the day when I stuck to

any exercise

routine this long, but I have

and, in truth, it’s not been bad.
