Yesterday, I saw a dead bird along my walk during lunch. I was triggered momentarily. Death has been a constant presence in my life lately. By the way, “do you remember the 21st day of September? “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire. Happy Hump Day. https://youtu.be/iOX86jLDCsI
Temperatures are no longer in triple digits; Fall weather is approaching. I heard from a former co-worker today. More people left that company, and senior management fired one of the managers. It sounds like the environment is getting worse. I avoided the question about my plant; it died two months ago. I didn't have the … Continue reading September 17, 2022
Jaxx is adjusting well. He makes me smile. This week I’ve been assigned to work on process improvement initiatives. I’m unsure how I feel about it because of my recent experience. The weather was amicable despite the excessive heat. I took more walks than usual. I learned that Comedian David A. Arnold died of natural … Continue reading September 8, 2022
Two weeks away from the Autumnal Equinox, the first day of Autumn. Everything starts to age and whither. I'm ready for the year to end; maybe one year, I’ll stop saying that. I'm putting my “future” plans on hold for the moment. I am starting to downsize and get rid of things with no value. … Continue reading September 7, 2022
It's a three-day weekend. Saturday went by quickly. I watched Clash at the Castle, a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Premium Live Event, which was very entertaining. We spent the day with Jaxx, who is getting comfortable with his new home. Today is the end of a week-long excessive heat warning. Tomorrow is the unofficial end … Continue reading September 4, 2022
From the equinox through the solstice, I’ve watched the passing of each new moon. So much of my time spent in darkness. I don’t know what to think anymore. It’s a disturbing notion. The abortion of love and compassion gives life to relentless greed. I watched the death of strangers and felt the weight of … Continue reading The Void
There is a vibe I cannot explain. I continue watering the dying tree; the autumn morning is a little darker. Last night, I watched a spectacle between two grumpy elders. A choice from the chaos is frightening. The light continues to shine, but briefly. This fall feels endless. I'm hoping my rapid descent has enough … Continue reading Momentous Hope
Another equinox descends;we're still waiting for the rain. I look around my neighborhood;life is dwindling to nothingbut abandonment and despair. Autumn winds blowing trash on my lawn.Smoke and ash paint the season. I can hear the echoes of disagreementsfading beyond the barking dogs.The street lights no longer turn on. Every dawn looks like the dusk.The … Continue reading Descent
With every misstep, we have reached the Autumnal Equinox. The atmosphere barely resembles the sky. Thoughts reeling from left to right, the scale displays our disproportionate burdens. Will the rain ever feel the same? Another misstep. Slipping over the ledge, I close my eyes, falling away.
Voodoo ebb and flow; Summer setting on the horizon. My fancy white linen crumples to a dirty gray mound. Wicked vibes are rippling. The days are getting shorter; I can feel the chill of darkness behind me. Another spell is cast. Night is expected and still disturbing.
Spring rolled through like bruised apples; the house still smells like Winter. Somewhere is a missed opportunity. Summer is turning into hot pumpkin lattes. No one gives a cent because someone is hoarding coins—yadda, yadda, yadda, dum-dum diddy. We lost our getaway, our annual moment of jubilee.
Tiny snowflakes; gentle kisses. Wishing for eternity. Sobering chill of the night.
The heat of unexpected delimmas begin to subside. The waves no longer crashing on this broken frame. Those moments of misleading portrayals and righteous denials, forgiven. Daylight is starting to fade. Summer watched my public shame; Autumn will heal this overwhelming pain.
Woke up to a cold Autumn morning; The sunrise was hours away. Sleep wanted me to stay in bed, Thoughts of the moment denied its desire. A routine that was unchanged For so many decades. Ideas to remove the insanity; Destiny is the antagonist toward my best laid plans.
Sunrise is later. Slipping past the equator. Harvest we savor.
September rain washing away the dust. The autumn breeze clearing away the summer clouds. My horizon descends quickly towards supplication. I think of the last sunset; watching the indigo ink spilling on the pale memories. My Sunshine, losing her smile.
Urban ballet in the fall music within the umber leaves rainfall gives applause. -------- Limping gingerly; movement refusing tip-toes Doctor Scholl's are nice.
He saw her face again, under a different circumstance; memories still lingering within the fragrance. What they had was but a diversion; the acquaintance of familiarity at a fork in the road. Their attraction was the means for her mental distraction from the cuts and abrasions inflicted by so much broken glass. The prick of affection; … Continue reading Interim
He buries his heart Beneath a bed of broken Thorns feeling the autumn Breeze becoming Winter winds along a Darkened sky. Carrying tiny Shards of reality along his Emotions slicing the pages From his mind's diary made Cynical by the freezing December night. As the year Enters another twilight pressing Against his recollections of her … Continue reading Always and Forever
A new equinox rests upon the horizon; it seemed like it would never arrive. The touch of a cool breeze upon the nape of my neck. Sending a chill along my spine; goose bumps of impending excitement. I find myself thinking about her beautiful autumn eyes; wanting to taste the pumpkin spice on her lips. … Continue reading Subtle Hint
