There is a time for everything,
and a season for every action in life:
A time to be single and a time to be in a relationship,
A time to hit the piano keys and a time to hit the computer keys,
But somehow, I did it all backwards.

whipping winds today
lashes of complete fury
trees bending the knee
Atop the curve of a carved stone dome,
well gilded by rays of many setting suns,
Fortune pirouettes and prances all alone
while her clockwork wheels rhythmically run.

With each new tick of her timeless clock,
she spins the drivewheel another round
and dances ’round the clockwheels’ cogs
in freedom, from our cares unbound.

The spring in her step drives clock’s time,
a rhythmic dance with outstretched hands
that point to sorrows or high cloud nine
as suits her music: She won’t come to a stand.

Would that we could pass the years
like Fortune, a lady unwound by our fears.
Inspired by this photo I took of the statue of Fortuna atop Potsdam’s City Palace: https://bsky.app/profile/jackgroundhog.bsky.social/post/3lglbyrewek2e
Your love is amazing,

it ensures empty vessels become full glowing ships of wonder:

a beautiful benign armada

preventing palaver,

mooring close when time gets harder.

he lays at my feet
both tucked under warm fur
winds howling his name
His hands were warm,
But he was dead inside.

Seven minutes left,
a lifetime in a flash—
dreams, love, and peace,
woven as one.
Seven: a perfect cycle,
complete, then rest.
