Dreams of the Milky Way
Some times I’d like to run away and not look back Catch a ship somewhere, Ride until the sky turns black Amongst the heavens I’d chart my course steering by the stars, The ocean would sing its song Between Jupiter and Mars The ship will travel on a dream I’ll never lack for company The…

Thoughts on an open road
Memory is a funny thing; It feels like just yesterday when I last made the drive, back and forth through the never-ending prairie skies Today they were overcast and grey, Sometimes the sun shone down, Sometimes the rain was in my way. My thoughts ran rampant, Steering their own destiny as we drove So many…

Tautology Of life
Birth and death, Beginnings and endings Those at the start of the day And those watching the sun set We all start out fresh Unwrinkled Sublime But use up that spark, Until one day, The light winks out The curtains fall, And the next act begins What if the light we see As we go…

Thursday thoughts
Thursday is my new favorite day I think. All the anticipation of the weekend without any of the despair of time wasted. Tonight, the weekend looms full of promise, with time to spare to get all of the things done that I’d like. It seems to stretch out indefinitely, with plenty of it available to…

Ben and Jerry and Wednesday
The first full day back at work this week. I feel like I should be all caught up but instead the opposite is true. I’m so behind I’m starting to lap myself. The smoke outside was so thick from the fires in BC that it looked like fog, altering reality to a version eerily the…

The click
It’s amazing the difference one good day can make Or one bad one can take The week after a long weekend feels crazy Overwhelming While we rush, rush, rush All the way through, To make up one lost day Of productivity Then miraculously, Just like that Something clicks And the magic shines through Guiding you…

Time and relatives
Finally Friday, Or is it Friday again? Another week has gone My question is when? Time keeps moving faster When I want it to go slow But other times it’s like molasses When I want it to go Another day of work, Of family and friends Walk through the door And somehow, time suspends I…
