Contemplating the process…
Abide My Hand
When the muse is upon me
The words flow
Onto the page and the verses seem to glow
With meaning easy to see
Well, for me
But when the muse is absent
My pen wanders about aimlessly lost in the sands
Or even refusing to abide my hand
What then when pen won’t go to paper? Where is what’s meant
For lines to set free
For others to see
The things that we all already know
In the day’s rush as we go
More and more crazy

Contemplating fun…
Joy I Remember
Minnesota’s cold
Is fickle and sometimes mild
Always for the bold
Wandering delights
Cruising through little downtowns
Pretty Christmas lights
Joy I remember
Tears streak my face up on the
Bike in December

In Verse
Writing when able
But this in verse thing at best
Unreliable

Contemplating reality…
Tomorrow’s Warm
Maybe where you live
Or when. Cold’s tomorrow’s warm
It’s all perspective

Contemplating control…
You Might Feel
You might feel angry
Or you might feel some afraid
Thru emotions breathe

Other’s View
It’s off to HQ
Twenty two years in the field
It’s time to imbue
The DC mind set
And me with each other’s view
Hope I don’t forget

Contemplating change, but whose…?
Please share…
Contemplating tension…
Onto the Street
The orders come down
And it’s out onto the street
Mixed with smiles and frowns
Each handles the stress
For some a lark. For others
Each op is a test
Depending on style
The fears and tension handled
Underneath the smiles

Contemplating the danger…

Contemplating a comeback…
He Suits Up
A long time hero
Back from an ancient history
Forgotten he knows
Maybe best that way?
But duty calls. He suits up
Cap’s into the fray

Contemplating, “How fun is that?”
Please share…
Contemplating the moment…
Moment
Not counting the pails
In meditation’s moment
Paint under the nails

Contemplating meditation within the mundane…

Contemplating surprises…
Didn’t Know
Since I was a kid
A poet I didn’t know
But my aunt I did
-gl-
Contemplating mysteries in loved ones…
