What’s New?

Posted by 2garrabrants

At Janus’ gateway,

we find ourselves once again:

but what shall we leave behind?

~

Year after year we

resolve to leave things behind 

then  just snatch them up again.

Variability’s Blessing

Posted by 2garrabrants

As this year slowly

fades, what causes your poet’s

heart to skip a beat?

~

Diversity breeds

an asynchronous rhythm

when we welcome it inside.

Pried Open

Is it a sad truth

that just the presence of pain

provides us with fresh perspective?

~

Sometimes pain can be

a crowbar that loosens the

old and makes way for the new.

Daft Hopes Abound

Posted by 2garrabrants

Are we completely

daft to hope that before long

snow will fall and fires warm?

~ 

When hearthfires burn

and winter snows return, 

we will daftly hope for spring.

As Life Sails By

Sales and Santa sail

off to hidden storage bins;

how to keep that joy within?

~

Ah, and therein lies

the rub for we have to learn

to catch joy on the fly.

Fading Traditions

It’s the day AFTER

Christmas. Why haven’t the kids

gotten that sleep memo yet?

~

Alas, Boxing Day,

at least within this household,

is no day of servants’ rest.

Think Again

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

After record warmth,

perhaps we should consider

spending Christmas down under?

~

I thought the whole point

of Christmas was to help us 

avoid going down under.

Forget The Memo

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

It’s the night before

Christmas. Why haven’t the kids

gotten the memo on sleep?

~

You are so old school!

If you want those kids to sleep,

You must email, text, or tweet.

Heart Work

How can one protect

beloved family members

from so poorly misplaced trust?

~

We do our best through

love, vigilance, and prayer,

taking action when we must.

Joyous Warmth

Ok, so there’s no

snow. Are we going to just

be left with those plain red cups?

~

Why go to and fro

over the absence of snow?

Candles set red cups aglow!
