My fellow poet,

wherefore art thou? I have looked,

but you’re not in sight.

~

Catching up on sleep

after long hours working

in the Sun for other folks.

Summer Still… Life

Posted by 2garrabrants

Pond holds sky’s fallen

tears as nearby trees softly

sway with soothing lullabies.

~

Languid in that heat;

humidity oppressive,

relieved by sudden showers.

Higher Learning

College kids these days!

“That car has no esthetic!

I can’t drive my friends in that!”

~

Maybe they just need

an antiseptic to ease

their entitlement.

With deep purple blooms

gone, hummingbirds are gone too

leaving us to hum alone.

~

Butterflies remain

and hummingbirds still hover

where polyculture blossoms.

If We But Try

Posted by 2garrabrants

Some hope for free flight,

to soar graceful as birds,

high on thermals and breezes.

~

We can try to move

with grace even if we aren’t

able to fly high.

August brings summer’s

last chance to embrace a slow

pace before autumn‘s rat race,

~

For those college-bound,

summer’s peace is in the past!

Autumn’s rat race has begun.

Let The Good Times Roll

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

All good things must end,

lest they become common place,

and, thereby, loose their luster.

~

As the good times roll

gently into the past, know

more are on the horizon.

So many red code

warnings lately and still some

deny climate change.

~

Well… it still gets cold

and there was more snow this year…

that don’t sound much like warming.

Sometimes

Sometimes it takes faith

to accept that what you want

may not be the thing you need.

~

Sometimes when you get

what you don’t want, it takes you

where you need to go.

With Filtration

Wish you could bottle

the refreshment of your trip,

sip it as needed back home.

Just so long as I

can filter out the drama

mixed so liberally therein.

Sweet Solitude

Solitude abounds

here, among the resting gulls

beside the crystal water.

Savor each moment.

Let it fill your whole being

and nourish your soul.

From ninety-five to

seventy-two – surprise gift

from a sudden storm

Sadly, though, that gift

Comes, alas, with hidden price…

humidity, she’s rising!

Riding wind and waves,

harnessing their energy;

it’s the only way to sail!

Sailing through the day,

the wind at your back, smile

on your face – embodied joy.

Optimistic Expectations

A few seeds remain –

enough to make those small birds’

visit worthwhile.

With the last morsel

consumed, the birds will remain,

demanding you provide more.

Permeation

Trying to cover

dirt that vast would take a rug

as big as our whole country.

~

The problem with rugs…

all that dirt hidden beneath

soaks through the fibers, in time.

Poets Speak

Not every poet

can be poet laureate,

but they should be literate.

Poets existed

long before the written word.

They feel deeply and they speak.

Be(e) Safe

Leaves afloat in pools

provide safe harbor for bees

blown about by sudden storms

When sudden storms strike,,

may we be as lucky as

those bees in finding refuge.

Rain keeps visiting

and though pleasant at first is

now wearing out its welcome.

Never discount rain;

Knowing it wears down mountains

and reshapes the continents.

Coming and going

they erase the vacation.

On The Fly

Seems my poet friend

has fled the coop, taken off

to a far and wordless place.

Breath taken away

by perpetual motion;

words exist, just are unvoiced!

What You Pay For

When we cram so much

into our days, we don’t leave

space enough for savoring.

It’s an age old choice;

quantity or quality.

Choose one, or you’ll get neither.

Plans in abundance

withstand the face of chaos,

At least, more often than not.

Idolatry and The Golden Bull

Grateful beyond words

for those dismantling, lie

by lie, the house that Trump built.

~

Unmaking his house

will, most likely, require

a harsh iconoclasm.

Huh?

Before us alone,

God does not stop; lay on hands…

Others… perhaps… tentacles?

No matter how hard

I try, I can’t come up with

a reply…just bafflement.

A scattering of

sunlight toward the end of day –

hopeful evening song.

Complimented by

joyful, pool party noises

wafting through the woods nearby.

Whose rights are honored

when we can’t safely go to

parades, stores, schools, even church?
