I am a sinner saved by grace and a parttime poet. I participate in Celebrate Recovery and have been sober since 04/09/2011. My wife and I are both retired. I love my life. I am truly blessed.

Hello goodbye
Hello goodbye
sometimes life seems short
Sometimes shorter than others
Like when I'm trying to write
or when I'm watching Whitney
Times with you seem shortest of all

i wear my winter coat unzipped
i pull my indiana jones hat over my left eye
i don't have my gloves on
i look cool
at least to myself
truth be told
i'm cold

black with brown markings
long hair

and
a bare belly

he lies on his back
between my legs

front paws resting on his chest
back legs extended

with an occasional twitch
or stretch

totally at peace
skippy sleeping

"Life is good"
"Not for my son," she said
What do I want to say
That even though
circumstances may be bad
Life can stiill be good
That whenever you
Look for a blessing
You will find one
that attitude and perspective
Are everything
No
I'll just say
I'm sorry

There is a fog inside my mind
From too little sleep
And too much caffeine
Everything has a jagged edge
And is brightly muted
I sit at the keyboard
And struggle through dictionaries
Of jumbled feelings
As I try to compose myself
For the long haul
Or the short haul
Today I’m not particular
I just need some clarity
Maybe I just need to go to the car
And turn on the radio
That always puts me in a better place
