Night Before

This week pays tribute to those that do a crazy thing…

Contemplating fun…

 

   Night Before

Noodles and noodles
The night before marathon
Carb loading bodes well

Contemplating fun’s the noodles…

Just Pictured

Contemplating life…

 

   Just Pictured

Let go not the same
As not cared for just pictured
In a different frame

Unable But

Contemplating how…

 

   Unable But

Frozen by the chill
Of loss unable but somehow
Responsible still

A friend struggles on
Watching helpless can let him
Know he does belong

Contemplating I don’t know…

Hugs and Smiles

Contemplating missing…

 

   Hugs and Smiles

When she’s finally gone
And there’s no more hugs and smiles
How does life go on?

Contemplating blinding pain…

His Vigil

A year ago I wrote about a friend’s loss. This year I write about him…

Contemplating strength…

 

   His Vigil

A man stands alone
Surrounded by the family but
His face turned to stone

He will not dessert
His vigil but can’t show the
Overwhelming hurt

Beggar Once

Contemplating disbelief…

   Beggar Once

“I make more than you.”
A beggar once told a friend
Numbers compared. True

Sometimes when I see
Someone with a beggar’s sign
I’ll not give money

Big Thanks

Contemplating charity…

 

   Big Thanks

“Hungry please feed me”
Pockets the twenty. Big Thanks
Hungry don’t believe

Pausing to text
Instead of going for food
Then asking the next

Sign Says

Contemplating out of place…

 

   Sign Says

Hopeless and hungry
The sign says while holding her
Starbuck’s iced coffee

Legs and Wind

Contemplating strength…

 

   Legs and Arms

Relax ride the bike
Legs and wind some bit stronger
Then the cramps attack

Lower

Contemplating optimism…

 

   Lower

Pushups then better
And the requirements lower
But then arms butter

-gl-

 

Contemplating not so much…
