We Ask

Contemplating the incomprehensible…

   We Ask

His presence is a lift
We ask who wouldn’t want him
Duardo is a gift

   -gl-

Contemplating our runaway that we’re sure never did…

Please share your thoughts…

Only Option

Contemplating tough breaks…

   Only Option

Starting over’s hard
But the only option when
Broken into shards

Many Times

Contemplating love and courage…

   Many Times

Who’ll save her babies?
Many times into the fire
She got her puppies

   -gl-

In honor of a Chilean momma dog that kept going back into the burning building until one by one she got all her puppies out…

Smiles and Chuckles

Contemplating the moment…

   Smiles and Chuckles

A breeze ruffles hair
Smiles and chuckles show the mood
Moments without care

   -gl-

Enjoy the moment but especially the peaceful ones…

Unfair Advantage

Contemplating silliness…

   Unfair Advantage

He’s under the gun
Unfair advantage his legs?
Why don’t others run?

   -gl-

In honor of Oscar Pistorius’ effort and making the Olympics…

Looking Out

Contemplating responsibility…

   Looking Out

Blaming is a joke
Looking out not looking in
The mindset is broke

   -gl-

Others may contribute, and random chance plays hugely at all times, but we drive much of what comes to us…

Kept Away

Contemplating hysteria and conventional wisdom…

   Kept Away

Traffic jams unseen
But predicted kept away
Normal traffic weaned

   -gl-

In sympathy with all the starving London businesses whose normal tourist traffic stayed away to avoid the crush of the Olympics. The crush that appears not to have happened…

With Family

Contemplating life and family…

   With Family

A young woman grown
Celebrates life with family
And this child her own

   -gl-

Celebrating birthdays and the circle of life…
