Things that are
resolute:
The rocks of the
Appalachian Trail
The mess of my
son's room (thus far...)
...That the wispy
streaks of cloud
will be whipped up
by mountain currents
(looking just like
sky cotton candy
as they travel
onward...upward)
That I will spy
a new moon
to abandon myself
to...
That I will walk
through
the melting and
the return
of all things
snow...
That man will
write and write and write
(again)
(There is more
yet, to be said...)
That my bed feels
good
That my heart will
be stirred
That the calendar
will soon turn (again)
and that
I am
the lazy days
of summer.
Beautiful, lg. I love your resolute list.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
If you are the "lazy days of summer" I am the rustling wind of winter.
ReplyDeleteWow Lynn~ That's such a nice thing to say. Thank you! The mountains here make life a joy! There was a time when I didn't think that; when my son was really sick for about three years I couldn't think straight. Life was hard then (although when you're in it~ you don't know it.) I'm in a kind of steady state now, and that's good.
ReplyDeleteKeith~ I love you. Yes~ we are perhaps, 'opposites...' but...don't they attract?
ReplyDelete:)
Keith would rather say "the restless wind of winter" and wanted to change his post.
