A blogger near Seattle exploring the future
Lessons learned about life; pearls of wisdom I’ve gleaned through pain, failure and honest reflection
Laying here
Sun not yet risen
Quietude dominates.
Bushes outside
This window, soon
Bursting with the
Songs from vigorous
Birds. Oblivious
To their beauty.
They hear stories
Loneliness, violence,
Domination, love and death.
Songs that change daily
Yet remain constant.
Quietude vanishes into life.
We’ve reached the middle
Two days before, then after
Apex of the hump
Record setting heat
Seatlelites’ discomfort
Easily reached
Darkness consuming
The day’s remnants fade to dust
Monday approaches
In silence I sit
With the stillest air I’ve known
Echoes of nightfall
Remember dear friends
Seek out love and compassion
Flow through you and out
Rebooting myself
Discipline; thus a refresh
No fresh start promised
Evening wanderings
Dusk settling upon me
Springtime’s blossoms call
A challenging today
Turning off the modern mind
Breathing in fresh air
The briefness of life
Should give us pause about time
As it fades away
