Benches

Benches to sit
Benches to gaze
Benches to while
Good days away

Benches that sway
Benches that swing
Benches for playing
Songs that we’ll sing

Benches to feed
Benches to eat
Benches for resting
Our tender feet

Benches for writing
Benches for reading
Benches to dream on
Ways of succeeding

Benches with scenes
Benches at sea
Benches to witness
High tides recede

Benches for watching
Benches for greetings
Benches for having
Those lunchtime meetings

Benches for people
Benches for dogs
Benches of comfort
For long hours logged

Benches for holding
Benches for hugging
Benches for kissing
Ones that we’re loving

Benches are metal
Or could be wood
But one things for certain
Benches are good

Write This Way

I write
To get off
While
I Get on

I write
To juggle
The right
And
The wrong

I write
To reach out
As well
As dig in

The what’s?
The why’s?
The Who’s
The when’s

I write to
Express
Happiness
Sadness
Regret

I write
To share myself
And that’s
What you get

Like traversing tracks
And jumping the cracks
My time
Spent with Diane

Like jumping some ropes
And sledding down slopes
My time
Spent with Diane

Like skipping some stones
And eating snow cones
My time
Spent with Diane

Like a childhood friend
That never will end
My time
Spent with Diane

I don’t have a clue
What I will write
It is not morning
Nor is it night

I’m at a junk yard
Waiting for a Lyft
Heading up north
To turn that, to this

Lyft got cancelled
Oh woe is me
What will I do
What will it be

Alas...
My ride is Mr. Jeffrey
I haven’t met him
Nor he, me

It won’t be till 5
But that is alright
I’m going up north
To make things all right

New Leaf

I’m on a new
Path today

A different kind
Of way

A way
just begun

A path
I know none

But the path
I will take today

I’m SixtySome
I’ve had my fun

But time
To turn a leaf

A side
I don’t know

But it’s
Where
I will go

I’m on a new
Path today...

I’ve always fought
This  “Higher Power”
It then...
Hit Me!
Like
A bell tower

Through out my journey
When **** SHOULD crash
Somebody up there liked me
And ALWAYS
Saved my
***

So if you could please
Look down on me more
I do need
The looking
To show me
Which door

I’ll get on my knees
To thank you
EACH DAY
For all of the lifting
And pointing
The way

And so...
I BELIEVE
In a “Higher Power”
It’s good to
BELIEVE
In this waning hour

I hope you find yours
Don’t give up, geez
I’m now 64
And
Just down on
My knees
