Always Planned

Contemplating absence…

A friend of mine wrote…

   Five Seven Five

Damn! My head won’t stop
Thinkin’ ’bout five seven five
Will it ever stop?

   -Fred Jones-

Pulling me out of my preoccupation and the doldrums…

Now again inspired…

I wrote…

   Always Planned

Sabbaticals not
Always planned sometimes they just
Find me all caught up

Contemplating being gone too long…

Please share…

And Biding

Contemplating time…

   And Biding

Sitting by the heat
Rubbing my hands together
Flexing frozen feet

Pondering the time
And biding it as well I
Find moments sublime

Contemplating patience…

Please share…

Have To Roll

Contemplating reality…


   Have To Roll

Life changes and we
Have to roll with the punches
Even grandsons see

Contemplating clarity…

Please share…


Our All

Contemplating effort…


Before then we must
Give our all for in the end
We all leave as dust

Contemplating purpose…

Drifts Undiscovered

Contemplating wonder…


   Drifts Undiscovered

Now a light dusting
Of snow
Has fallen and gently blows
About in soft swirls trusting

The breeze to
Send it where it will
Hare and there ground uncovered

Bordered by fresh tiny drifts undiscovered
Where as yet no footsteps fell
The landscape renews

Itself and before again the people come rushing
Peace knows
A place and life flows
Gently and’s not quite so crushing

   -gl-


Contemplating life…
