Todays Poem
Damp dark day out there
while the world in here is shining warm
as flames lick charring logs
and kettle sounds of glub glub glub arise from my kitchen
all comfort shrouded in terrycloth robe
the morning paper becons
with news about elections
news about rejections
news about confections
news about recollections....
and in this mystical world there is still peace and the enjoyment
of damp dark day mornings
Damp dark day out there
not going to work today and don't need an alibi
there is this tenderness with my canine companion who snuffles
against my shoulder
her long white fur smells air fresh
as my partner bursts into laughter that lifts our hearts up
we share the little beastie
much like parents do with their progeny-
and as she laughs
this damp dark day turns into a dry bright day
within me
so that even when it rains
rainbows can still be painted over the sunshine
of being human.
