Random thoughts on the Everyday

promise

leaping up from bed

when the day starts with promise

things you want to do

tricks

winter trees ablaze

branches stark on flaming sky

one of nature’s tricks

moment

throwing back the drapes

startled by dawn’s crimson blaze

a moment and gone

time

time to sit and watch

sunlit water on steel falls

a bronze fish leaping

the paper shredder

whispering a requiem

hail stones clattering

tight faces behind drawn hoods

a truck rumbling by

the mind snags, unfinished tasks

colliding with dreams

the house still asleep

I go out in my night-clothes

to sit with the dog
