Contemplating the moment…

   Moment

Not counting the pails
In meditation’s moment
Paint under the nails

Relaxed Facing

Contemplating the grand struggle…

   Relaxed Facing

Who but an old god
Could be so relaxed facing
Evil that has trod

Upon all peoples
It found then ventured beyond
Thor needs no steeples

Contemplating an unlikely human hero…

Wait a minute.   They’re probably all pretty unlikely…

We Brace

Contemplating being ready…

   We Brace

When the winds blow cold
We brace for winter’s challenge
Some days just feel old

Heat Breaks

Contemplating change…

   Heat Breaks

The summer heat breaks
As fall begins to draw near
Hot and cool, a little rain, then clear
And still the occasional thunderstorm shakes

The house
But those fade
And the changes in the days

Belong more to the winds than changes in the sun’s rays
The storms have been played
Leaves carouse

And weeks the sun can still bake
But as those grow fewer we will fear
The coming of winter with cold so cold it can sear
Under our goose bumps we shake

   -gl-

Contemplating the coming seasons…

This one’s probably a couple weeks late but it wouldn’t finish until last night. Maybe it’s right on time…

After While

Contemplating one of my favorite sounds…

Heart thrums after while head hurts
Bagpipes all day long

The Genre

Contemplating incongruities fitting in…

   The Genre

The costumes appear
Covering the genre, then some
A robot draws near

The Renaissance Festival definitely has a genre but anyone with a costumes fits in…

Arms Wide

Contemplating nature’s beauty…

   Arms Wide

Face into the breeze
Arms wide drinking in fresh air
Ragweed makes me sneeze

   -gl-

Contemplating irony…
