I’d sit in the sand
and brood
and revel
in what I thought was utter enlightenment

A Night Walk, Nature Then Talks

Forgotten, my life,my dear sweet sorrows
images fading fast as deeper I invade.

Sitting on my stool
trying to ignore
the dregs around me,
their worse

This is truly 
   testing my patience,
and bringing my companion

I lie in bed, almost asleep,
But my mind has other ideas
And begins to mull over
Everything in my life!

I was gonna do this, then gonna do that
But I lay with the dog instead

The duck, the dog, the chicken and I, 
loved long walks along the beach. 
Me with spade firm in hand,

When my Mother was alive,
The mail always got through,
Recipients were seldom under the weather,
And replies were automatic, not automated.

There is a folder in which we keep all the replies

An almond dirt trails into the woods
where an old cottage home sits,
Yet I can not find for the deer intrudes
the almond trail in the lost whistle of wind.

A structure fast decaying and about to crumble, 
With its walls painted grey and white,

Without any thought of my well-being, they...
