Work, Writing and Why

Walking in and out of my day
I wonder why does it has to be this way.

What have I done all these years?
Who have I become?

Waiting for something or someone?
Working to provide a meal or two?

There is a time to write and to make
up for all that time, then all the work
comes down to a line, and then a word.

Into the Night, Out of the Day

When the rush of the traffic slows to silence
I know the time without a clock.

What does the revolution of time mean?
Can't I sit without a reminder.

Yet, with or without time my body slopes.
It isn't a call, it is more or less a hope.

One of peace and joy of a soft pillow and sweet sleep.
Into the night, out of the day I pray...

it is repeated again and again for 
another tomorrow and another day.

Poetry Kisses

An ant's shadow,
a bird's beak.

A baby's grin,
a little dog's lick.

A poem gets read,
and so it is said

A poetry kiss is blown,
and thrown to its maker.
