Bad Day
lying here, no energy
body broken and battered, reminding me today
choking on numerous meds taken too quickly
wanting only to get them down
normally smiling acceptance of the struggle
nothing but frustration this beautiful Sunday
stay positive; be an example for others; trials make one stronger
this too shall pass
the walls feel too close these hours
squeezing life from this soul
overwhelmed with attempts at hiding
watching the world pass by
the fatigue that grounds me; visiting now
realizing it is temporary, aware of the crash
you can get through this; depression not an option; fight and be tough
this too shall pass
not a good day for chronic illness; temporary and fading
rest without guilt; allow the body to heal; recovery
this too shall pass

Fear
Fear with love leads to understanding.
Fear with hate leads to destruction.
It is as clear as a hummingbird seeking nectar.
Why do so many not see?

Our Boo
Sugary treats always deliver a smirk
Crunchiness provides noise in quiet
Breakfast bars wake the sleepy
Bats, skeletons, witchy distractions
Warmth and luxury for chilly toes
Words of wisdom and affection
Ramen noodles rapidly boiling
Glow in the dark molded fangs
Delicious cookies reminiscent of home
Popcorn, addictive, sweet, and salty
Thick gloves comfort the digits
Spider webs entangled throughout
The bird has flown the nest
Young boy in some ways, man in others
Searching independence, growth, and experience
Still needing reassurance and connection
Halloween Care Package on the way!

A Genuinely Charming Death
by Niecy
Wind rumbles wildly through the trees
Branches graze and scratch the stuccoed walls
Leaves drunkenly stagger from concrete to mulch
Enjoying the last of freedom before certain demise
Fall has come – a genuinely charming death
Colors change rapidly green to yellow, orange, and red
A beautiful mosaic announcing transition to all
Eyes feast on visions of pumpkins, apples, and hay
Magnificent, colorful photos etched in our minds
Fall has come – a genuinely charming death
Familiar and pleasant scents seduce noses
Memories of family and gatherings abound
Pumpkin, apple, maple, sweet potato pie
Tease and excite the young and the old
Fall has come – a genuinely charming death
Sweaters, boots, hats, and gloves
Once again make an annual appearance
As warmth pivots to crisp coolness
And all prepare for another year’s end.
Fall has come – a genuinely charming death
