Le petit chet

Change

The clouds hurry across the sky. The tree tussles its foliage. The grass grows thick. Nature is ready to change her seasonal gown.
Every season fleeing.
Change.
Change.
Change.

Students are restless
For classes to begin
Graduating class of 2016.
Change.
Spring.
Fall.
Many fall.
Bachelors. Graduates.
Change.
Change.
Change.

Yearn for meaning:
Something to hold on to
Someone--
Something.
Change.--
Confusion-change
Lots of pocket change.
Spring. Summer.
Love. June babies.
Change and other things.
Change.
Change.

Change and other things.

The Plain Pine Box

The gravediggers barrow is deep 
His workload full.
Crimson sweet
His lonely soul,
Late night calls
Dead man's duty.


Nature's fife plays low
Skies darken 
Crocus brighten 
The morning.
Yet his heart is but a Wandering casket
An empty plain Pine Box.


He lifts the arthritic figure into the casket.
The work is done.

"All We Do is Hide Away"

I think all of us hope for happiness. We should all indeed. Life is full of so many answers. So many pathways. So many different careers. And we alone must decide. As the song "All We Do" advocates. We MUST do something with our lives. I'm not saying go be the president or first astronaut to land on an unknown planet. [Which if you want to do that those are great goals. I will talk more about overcoming near impossible goals in future posts.]
      It's so easy to watch people do other things, to just observe, all of our lives. But we're put on this Earth to not just observe, like in a scientific process with hypothesis and observation. But to actually experiment if you will. Our lives are experiments.
