What Crosses My Mind

  • Being Content

    My dog is two years old today. That time has gone by, and she is a wonderful companion. If I didn’t have her, I would be alone. She at least fills a bit of that void. Tonight is neighborhood night out in the United States. I need to really go out and interact with my…

  • Adjustments

    It’s been five years for me. A lot has happened since Covid. None of it has been illness related from the effects of the disease. Just changes in my life, those that I had no idea were going to happen when they did. My marriage fell apart at the end of 2019, two weeks before…

  • Show Goes On – Part II

    I’ve spent the last couple of days, soul-searching as is such a catchy phrase when trying to answer the difficult questions in our lives. I ran a theatre program for three years that began with nothing, and at least had something, when I saw the writing on the wall that told me it was time…

  • Yesterday’s Sadness

    I think about it today, how many people told me be patient let the days go by, let go of the pain and know the future will settle all the anxiety in my mind. I remember believing it would never go away, the self doubt the trepidation, the agonizing fear. Being alone again wondering how…

  • She Wanted My Path

    When first glance, our smiles filled the room we couldn’t believe it true so we held fast, didn’t want to let go just let things become, and the fires began, the winds couldn’t last. ~ I wonder sometimes if it could have rained sooner then the tears we now seem to know, if instead our…

  • Days Ago; Weeks Ahead

    Did you wonder if it was about then, that time, when we, well, while the world grew cynical around our own lives. Did you ever think we might be as necessary the cogs in the wheel, as anyone else who symbolized that same hypocrisy. Would you walk with me, just for a short while so…

  • We Were Younger Then

    When did we become, our father’s instincts, when our mother suddenly appeared in our gestures. How far did we travel before eagarly coming to terms with reality’s tease … Remember when ‘just kidding’ offered hope instead today, we reason with our legacy, suddenly twisting in the wind, feeling the result of a gale force slap in…

  • Don’t You Forget

    i did fall in love with you, I want you to always remember that wherever life may take either one of us, just know, that beyond the distraction of humanity, that piece of material reckoning, the mechanical aspect of trying to survive, just know there was that gleam in my eye, when you looked back…

  • Choosing Sides

    My first attempt at The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “First Crush.” ~ We would walk the neighborhood together, hand in hand at times, more importantly when eyes were nearby, shoulder to shoulder, and smiles, nervous energy proud in front of friends, those that didn’t understand. ~ if we could make it across the lawn without losing…

  • Piano Keys

    That summer I listened, you heard the keys of his piano swept my life to a dream, perhaps I was only in a wish a hope to find peace with you to discover how we as two might find our one. ~ That summer I listened, you heard voices that beckoned a state of mind,…
