I sit and ponder
To no great wonder
Why you and I are here?
Deep in thought
For which I tried not
What thoughts I could try to spare.
Why the world is so big
That you could fit many boat rigs,
Holding many souls so dear.
I am one so small among many
I feel loss among any
Who are above getting plenty.
So I continue to ponder
Before mind goes asunder.
Down street I walk
One cool dog wearing shades
Passersby stop to marvel
Why one keeps them on?
I enjoy wearing them
I don’t mine at all
Keeps sun out of my eyes
And give others a big smile
Push and pull of strings within
Direction seems to disappear
No one clear way to cut the cords
Which attach around me in all ways
Feeling like someone else pulls the strings
Will I find away to break free?
Poetry echos throughout night
Lines come to fast to form
A poem worthy to put in place
It leaves me speechless
Trying to catch up
I fall behind to tired
Over come with exhaustion
To write the words down
Blackness creeps in slowly, for days get shorter
Wind picks up a rustle as cold comes creeping too
Seasons began to change day by day in August
Until September brings it full throttle for Fall to began
Then see leaves start sporting their colors
Feel humid air disappear only to be replace by brisk cold air
Barely we notice the changes until they come upon us
But, I notice as dog and I take our walks
Windows down fresh breezes come through
Hear wind rustle as we drive on highway
I glance to backseat for a moment
Her snout raises in air
Look of awe with eyes close
She soaks up sents in air
She pauses, looks at me with doggy smile
As if to say thank you for putting windows down
Now would you mind driving longer
For I am enjoying the breezes right now
I walk the road lost in thought
I search my surroundings high and low
I walk far and wide
To find the words and images to write a poem
I soak up what I can see
So I can write a poem for thee
