Fila Died Today

February 15, 2011

Fila died today.
Her brave little heart
To beat no more.
Nothing right,
Nothing fair.

So many gone,
So many lost.
So many loved,
Never forgotten.

Why? Why you ask
Do we bring them into our lives
Knowing in the end
We will lose
And feel this pain?

Because to have known them
Even a little while,
To feel their love,
To share their sweetness,
To be part of their lives
Is oh so worth this awful time.

Sleep, rest,
Play and run.
No pain or worries.
You were loved
And loved
We’ll meet again.

Coughing, hacking, feeling the tightness, feeling the pain.
Snow, cold, lots and lots of chilblains.
Having a cold in winter certainly sucks and I’ll complain.
As I just sit here hoping for a warmer place to be,
Where breathing isn’t an issue
And coughing is only a distance memory.

Freezing is Freezing

January 24, 2011

Freezing is freezing
And then there is freezing.
Not much else can be said
Other than it’s freezing.
I mean it’s freezing and freezing.

Keep yourself toasty, snugly warm
Never think freezing, only warm, warm warm.
Because it’s freezing
I mean it’s freezing and freezing.

Don’t go out, stay yourself in
Get a good book, maybe a bottle of gin
Because outside, it’s freezing
I mean it’s freezing and freezing.

No one will mind or notice you gone,
Because their busy, keeping from freezing,
Keeping themselves warm,
Because it’s freezing
I mean it’s freezing and freezing.

See you in spring
As the buds open and flower.
When it’s hot, not freezing
I mean not freezing and freezing,
But hot, hot and warm.

Waiting for the Tow Truck

January 21, 2011

Waiting for the tow truck
Knowing I must wait.
Wait and wait.
The universe has sent a message,
“Trust and be patience
Just wait and wait.”

Go on to other things
The things that have been put aside
“Trust and be patience
Just wait and wait.”

Don’t judge or criticize,
Don’t feel the anger or frustration,
“Trust and be patience
Just wait and wait.”

Sit and take note of the flower, the trees
And squirrel contently munching.
They all have a place in the universe,
“Trust and be patience
Just wait and wait.”

The tow truck is coming.

Absolute Power

January 13, 2011

Absolute power.
Absolute strength.
Modify nothing.
Barge forward, see the result,
See the end.

Snow, Snow

December 13, 2010

Snow, snow,
Piles of snow.
Deep snow, blowing snow.
Drifting snow
Cold, cruel snow.
Soft, loving, beautiful snow.
Deep snow, blowing snow,
Snow, snow,
Piles of snow.
