Good Evening, Let's chat
How about we go and
have ourselves a night cap,
The day was hectic,
Yeah, I'll drink to that.

I'm just glad it's over and
the weekend is here,
We toast our drinks and
we both give a cheer.

This week was a rough one,
If you only knew,
Just so glad that we pushed and
made it on through

It felt like this weekend
would never arrive,
The week did moved
slowly but, yet we Survived,

Let's not fuss and grumble,
okay my dear friend,
Let's get this thing started and
enjoy this weekend


B.R.
DATE: 9/25/2024

the annual gift-giving hectivities
in advent time
       when we are

            supposedly

      expecting the birth of our savior
defy traditional ideas
    of quiet meditation
drowning the sense of wonder
with relentless jingles for super discount sales
of things neither we
        nor anybody else
        really needs
even though they suggest we
        and whoever we give those goodies to
would be beyond  the moon

somehow
      Christ
       in spite of all this
gets born

Conflagration rages
through the neuron forest;
in the end were lies,
deceived by honesty.

The first to flee
were all the beasts,
while the humane
remained behind
to burn up in a trace
of sapience.

I walk alone
I find beauty in the sparkle of the sidewalk when the sun hits it just right
I follow the crack in the concrete like a map
It wasn't meant to be there but I'm glad it is

I'm glad I am

I find beauty where I thought I'd find pain
These are the moments that let me feel sane
Search for beauty where it's least expected
You'll find a shine in your eye and a love that is reckless

But there's beauty in the hectic
Embrace the beautiful when it's messy
