Cold Feet We are far from Florida Keys Icy water below my knees I made it to the porch Safe and dry We left the keys in the car Says I Expletives poured out to expunge My determination to take the plunge Shin deep in icy cold I made it back to the car Having run not strolled Numbness eased the pain Warmness seemed so very far I set out on my more merry routes Wading to the shed to get our boots Then racing home in my retreat To warm dry socks for my cold feet December 28, 2006 I love my wife I love my wife I'm glad she's there She is the answer To my unprayed prayer No clashing chord Connectivity She is warm and sweet Like harmony Longer than my memory She's been ever here for me Meant for being mother In a mystic mystery She has loved like no other All these kids who came to be In her life As did I and luckily No more so sad For I am glad I love my wife December 27, 2006 Lake Machias Step lively but be aware The bottom step is Under all that water there So I pondered this For if I had kept Walking into all my daily care So soon after I'd slept Icy feet would have greeted me All subtlety would have been forsaken The darkness would have cheated me And I'd shout as all the warmth was taken From my unsuspecting feet But alas I saw a ripple And knowing cold can cripple Your ability to forsake swearing All such concerns left uncaring I froze in place asking Lord why us As I gazed down on this Lake Machias That'd formed all round where we reside Then I turned and marched right back inside And signaled my retreat Still I thanked God that unto this hour We're among the few who still have power December 15, 2006   Boars in the backyard Boars in the backyard Never seen that before I gave that my regard I said tell me more It is a whole family They are everywhere I have to say before I didn't see Them in the yard but look there All this from my grown child It seems Sedona is still wild In the desert far from Cenotes The dry wind blows red rocks Watch your back watch for coyotes Spoke the minstrel man with dreadlocks All is as it should be said the singer This is easy enough to confess Going glad into the night like the gunslinger Sometimes more is less December 13, 2006 Choices          Listen in the night Do you hear the voices Railing wrong and right Calling us to choices Reaching out to sleep But failing to go under We pray our souls to keep Yet sleepless takes us plunder Solitary silent sleeping Makes one who rejoices No sleep makes for weeping Weariness intrudes us Restfulness eludes us Still we hike up our boots and carry on Longing for a sunset beach or a dazzling dawn With sand between our toes Not this frost upon our nose Yet here we are and here we stay Watching choices slip away I wish I may I wonder why Life's a beach Then you fly Be happy or be sad You choose Don't lose The cold is not so bad December 10, 2006 Cold Calling Cold calling Frost thawing Snow balling Hee hawing Winter time fun Enter find none Just warm house Maybe not warm Thick sweater Makes better Riding out storm Cold hearth Big chill Big scarf Cuts bill Cold calling thank it Wrapped up in blanket December 9 2006 Lon Galia Such little sleep leaves me feeling less than smart So often sought to stay yet determined to depart The strong finish what the weak fail to start Lost inside this haze however or wherever thou art Lost in Lon Galia Cali Calu Calia In a land built by the lonely The sun shines on a cloud cacoon On a salty sea that is only Light up by a lover's moon Cali Calu Calia Lost in Lon Galia Love comes and goes too soon December 7, 2006   Hold the Snow Grab the snow and start scooping So cold outside the dog is pooping On the porch Off we go season's turning turning Passion's past has ceased it's burning Gone out like a torch Still on and on and on we go As we do the best we can Every woman Every man Reaping seeds we sow That's all bad and good Still here so knock on wood And hold the snow December 1, 2006
