A beat,
a flutter,
caused a mutter
or a murmur,
as an old heart,
began its decline.
A shortness of breath
going up the stairs,
became a worry. Mine.
Congestive heart failure,
was the diagnosis
and medicines were prescribed.
Warfarin, to thin
the blood and avoid
the potential of a stroke.
My life changed, in the moment
as my health had declined,
but now I have found
there is no longer
a burden, as life
has returned to
a normal existence.
Well, sort of.

The water is flowing, swiftly now,
down the rocky bed.
White water rapids appear
where calm waters had been.
The calmness, which surrounds
is interrupted by the harsh
cry of a Crow.
Looking for some flat water
to cast my lure and entice
a hidden Trout, to suddenly appear.
Grab the silver lure, if you can.
I await in quiet anticipation
for when you do, you are mine.
Do not worry, I will be kind,
releasing you back into the stream
to feed again.

The Moon is full,
light poked through the leaves
of the towering, majestic Maple trees.
A lonely site on this Halloween eve
to look at the shadows
and how they will appease
the landscape viewed during the day.
A sight to behold; there it would stay.

Among

Among the cars, trains, abandoned planes
and the cast off remains
of a place of love and renown.
No longer the same, for what remains,
is the memorable ruins of the Clown.
His lies, hateful rhetoric, which he's made,
have caused many citizens to be afraid
of losing their or a loved one's life,
for his complete failure to quickly act,
while spreading lies; not truthful fact.
How can you trust he who would divide,
the citizens so worried they now hide
the annals of a National History.

Here We Are

Here we are,
November first,
awaiting the results
which will soon be
the election results
of November three.
Will the World be blue,
or some shade of red
and will remand, as it is,
but perhaps, instead,
we'll get back to making
this Country whole again,
by changing to a leader
who cares about others
and won't offer despair.
I hope it's the latter
for if it is not,
we'll all deserve this,
National rot.

It was Sunny, yet cool as
the wind gust's swept the patio.
Sit with your back to the Sun,
while your body warms. With
your fingers clutching your Americano.
Too cold? Get a wrap and put
around your lap to cover your
legs and feet. If you need more
protection from the wind,
pull up the hood on your coat.
If all else fails, put on a hat,
or scarf to protect your ears.
Fall in the Northwest. Sunbreaks,
an occasional rain, which freshens
the Fall air. Love this time of the year.

Is It Time

Is it time to trip
the Light Fantastic
or shuffle off to Buffalo?
While it seems, in this campaign,
the use of smoke and mirrors
and untruthful innuendo invades
our daily lives, with promises
made and promises kept,
with no regards for others.
Racist remarks, from a individual
of questionable virtue. If re-elected,
what does that say about the moral
values of this country's citizens?
Vote Blue
