Rising sun, coffee's on;

There are things I must get done.

Write some checks, sort a drawer,

Rake the yard, wash a floor.

Meeting at 9, kids to call,

Move that chest from

the back hall;

Plan a meal, business calls,

Internet and shopping malls.

Talk to daughter, think of one son,

call other son before day's through.

Sign for package, do some work.

Customer service person was a jerk.

Plan to worry from 1 to 2.

That's a sensible thing to do.

Worry, too, from 9 to 10;

from 12 to 1, worry again.

Notice fine lines under eyes,

Mental note of cream to buy.

Water ivy, feed the cat,

Buy blueberries. They're low-fat.

Plan a life, manage money.

Take a walk, the day is sunny.

Find more work; find some meaning.

More to life than work and cleaning.

Back at PC, work some more,

Clean up cat "sick" from the floor.

Make a list, and make another.

Each day's different from the other.

That says it all for me.

Alone and quiet, living the dark From the inside, failing, faded, stark Shattered, cornered deep in fears Broken, living dead in tears At the corners… I found myself, hiding from the light Weakened, to fall... keep reading →
