An Odd Seven For November

give thanks for the day
bask in the warmth of our sun
adapt well and thrive

illuminated
by the light of fulsome moon
great horned owl takes flight

caught in the throes of
ever changing existence
so hard to keep pace

through willing ether 
messages and data fly
a connected life

all the past slumbers
silently within the depths
of eternity

life is much too short
to spend one's days worrying 
about life’s shortness
 
most of us start out
dealing with bad conditions
we did not create
