Cozy Contemplations
Chapter 2 Doors
A door creaks shut and another one appears
New vistas to explore and people to meet
A chance to engage and conquer my fears
Even if past sorrows make it no mean feat
Restrictions are easy to construct in my mind
It can be so seductive to build those fences
Grasping at any faux reason I can find
As long as the result is to deaden my senses
A loser’s game is one I must rally to resist
Opportunity only knocks for open hearts
Those with the ability to make doubts desist
For it takes courage and will in equal parts
Spinning our wheels wastes time and life
Slowly turning us into a desiccated husk
Soul deeply gouged without the cut of a knife
But I can choose dawn’s array over finite dusk
Endeavoring to embrace the warm rays of the sun
I’ll risk the chance of losing in hopes of winning again
And I’ll stop all this hiding for my life is not done
Determined this protective cocoon will not be my bane
More positive smatterings…
Waking up after a week of illness.
Tap tap tap
The water dances
Dripping music on rocks
That border green shoots
Of spring glory
Somber and lulling
A time for reflection
Moments for peace
I rise
And open the blinds
To a new day
Waking up after a battle with a pair of Robins who want to move in
Bleary eyes greet the day
As achy hands wipe sleep away
There's a robins' nest on my mind
Only lord knows what I will find
But I still have my trusty broom
So they can piss off to another room
I am king and this is my castle
And I can do without this hassle
So wish me luck as I go forth
With my prickly sword pointing north
Waking up to one of winter’s last gasps…
A peek of the sun
But there is a chill
A howl of the wind
Denote's nature's will
Throw your best at me
Sun, snow or rain
Spring is close now
Winter's lost once again
I believe saying good bye to Morningstar: The Malaise weighed heavily on my mind.
Yet, it is to be celebrated, this productive year out of my life. It was a journey I'm proud of.
I seesawed back and forth all night
Like a fledgling robin ready for flight
It couldn't be anything spicy I ate
And I wasn't excited over any date
I'll chalk it up to growing pains
Not up but out, those kind of gains
Maybe I just need a cup of tea
And a walk to shake off this anxiety
Or maybe I'll go for a drive in the car
And reflect on my friends at Morningstar
