And in comes a light
AND IN COMES A LIGHT
I met a chap in Brussels today
As if a friend from faraway
He claimed no part of a world of someday
Yet he stood toward the sun as if stealing a ray
We walked just a mile as the light turned to shade
And impressions of hope upon me he made
A pal, perchance from a land now unknown
Just a glimpse of his story was I briefly shown
What if there’s no evermore, a candle blown out
Or a street built on promise that only serves doubt
It may be our world is just here, all for show
That once finished, life’s over, with nowhere to go
Couldn’t help but imagine if maybe he’s right
That the sun is just now and the rest is all night
Then in came that rain, well it fell hard and fast
Like a wall that just crumbles, not meant to last
Returned to my path with a strange sense of wonder
Is this life a dream or some spell that I’m under?
The wet mirror reflected a blurred vision of truth
That lies and beguiles the folly of youth
Who knows if the end will break darkness with light
Still onward I’ll travel in hopes that it might
This fellow now friend, I hope he agrees
A future of sun shining down on the the trees
Finding Time
Your time – You deserve to have it!
Kevin Krause (a personal hero of mine) reminded me today about a post that he wrote years ago, which changed how I “do” life. Reposting in case it might change yours, too.
Go get this day!

Thundersnow and Frankenflakes
Here’s a poem I wrote to help you stay warm…
Thundersnow and Frankenflakes
Thundersnow and Frankenflakes. How much havoc Winter makes. No sooner does the nighttime fall, than down more inches, igloo walls. My driveway’s frozen; pipes near-cracked. And, down another tree branch…Thwack!
‘Twas fun the first time and the twelfth. It’s time this snow biz hit the shelf. My blower’s blown. The roads are dicey. My heating bill is beyond pricey. It’s kind of fun to whine, I suppose. We’re lucky; some have toes that froze. Off to sleep another night. Tomorrow’s fresh coat will be bright…
