Slowly we emerge. Slowly we see the light and know we are safe.

Mouse In The House

April 20, 2011

Mouse in the house
Trapped in fear.

Deer mouse in the house
Leg held in a trap
No struggle is shown
Only big eyes show fear.

Hanging on for dear life
As I carry him up to outside
To release and let go.

A second chance for this guy
Use it well
Don’t come back in.

Next time, who knows
The struggle
You may not win.

Bittersweet Moment, Bittersweet Day

April 18, 2011

Bittersweet moment, bittersweet day
All alone in quelling the fray.

Nothing to do, nothing to say
Just reality facing us, bringing to bay
Hard facts on this what must
Be made into a joyous day.

Surge yourself up, stand proud and see
All you’ve accomplished in spite of thee.

Sad, Sad News

April 18, 2011

Sad, sad news that Ulf
A great and magnificence dog
Who brought joy and pride to all
He loved and knew
Has gone.

A mind of his own
And a belief in himself
Knowing early he was
Destined for greatness
This great and magnificence dog
Never stop giving.

No patience for mediocrity
He must excel, do his best
Expecting nothing less
A great and magnificence dog
The best, the best.

I’m sorry you had to leave us
I’m sorry it had to be this way
You gave unconditional love
And left so many wonderful memories
For a great and magnificence dog
Who left us Saturday.
Adieu.

Moody, Misery Rain

April 16, 2011

Moody, misery, rain dripping down
No more freezing but
A dirty brown ground.

Healthy growth sharing the screen
Of a landscape desparate
For a turn in the season scene.

Promising just a little
More bright sun
To wake up a land
Where spring has begun.
