A Weak

A long and hard week
made longer by the distance
in both space and thoughts

Decisions

A big decision,

now that distraction is gone,

occupies my thoughts

A Long Pause

These two long weeks away from home,

and one more left to go,

have left me with a sudden sense

the road is all I know.

The stress begins to take its toll;

my body and my mind

cry out for rest I cannot give

until I have some time

But all my time away from home

allows me to reflect,

and ponder things both big and small

I often times forget.

The only thing I haven't done,

while traveling this land,

is keep up with my poetry.

So here goes; here I am!

Long Spring Walk

The trees give their shade

as we walk on the trail.

The sun peeking through,

but the branches prevail.

The sounds of the woods

ringing loud in my ears,

sends my mind to a place

I've held onto for years.

Thoughts of past summers

spent in cabins in woods,

of innocent times

and the bad and the good.

A stretch of the legs,

a stretch of my mind,

were two of the things

I expected to find.

No Stopping Now

The Ides of March have come and gone

And April's flowers too

The scorching sun that summer brings

has not, as yet, come due

Events of May have started up,

there is no stopping now.

I'll probably survive this mess

although I'm not sure how.

Cinco De Moustache

A celebration

of many things Mexican

and bad moustaches

May Day

A month of change begins today.
What can I say
to keep my mind
from going blind.

A cold hard rain has changed my plans
too bad for fans.
I like the flow
of outdoor shows.

I need to shop around some more
And knock on doors.
And change my plans
Before they can.
