"In a day and age when all manner of things are believed against contrary evidence - hey, why not believe there's a little good in everyone. ~ Robert Brault
I am writing. I am calling. I want everyone to have a seat at the table. And I am trying to find good things to appreciate in life. It has been a tough week, again. I suspect I should be used to it, but I'm not. Here are two poems I've written this week, the second adapted to the season from another poem, whose author is anonymous. You will understand my various states of mind when you read.
news floods the airwaves
the only water in sight —
barren days

State of Mind
For the books I read,
the fireflies' glow,
the picnics in the nearby park,
the home to which I go,
the lamps I light late summer’s eve,
the quiet wind sigh of the leaves,
the shout of children in evening’s glow,
this is the summer
that I know.
