Generations


The Less Screen Time Generation

I like a house
with books,
and magazines and newspapers
as well,
not too neatly piled,
please.
I enjoy a home
with smells,
real ones
from cooking and cleaning
and such,
no vanilla need apply.
I crave a life
with peace,
yet welcome are
the bumps
and fever
of sincere living 
I cherish friends
who last,
the ones who know
who I
really am.

Generating Love

There is nothing I would change
about my life, even if I could,
because it all brought me to you.

There is nothing else I would build,
not from paper, stone or wood,
except that which created me and you.


There is nothing I could say,
not even if I should,
that speaks louder in me than you.

Picture This (a triolet)

Standing back from the easel, I see that it’s complete,
even as my life is still a work in progress.
Maybe too many blues, perhaps a dab of joyful pink, and yet,
standing back from the easel, I see that it’s complete.
Some lush strokes, others thinner, the whole of the canvas
is what matters, and not every mistake should be fixed.
Standing back from the easel, I see that it’s complete,
even as my life is still a work in progress.
