Returning To Normal

New Year's 2018

Now we transition
We’re returning to normal
Within this new year

Ready to get back to work? To shake things up and make a difference? If not, what do you need to do to change that?

Winter advances
Yet the solstice passed us by
Change is approaching

Now the week’s middle

So very much left to do

This steady constant

This gangly bird

Inelegant legs, bearing

Ghost upon the marsh

Raindrops tap windows

Gusts rattling the dried leaves

Autumnal cold rain

The predicted reasons have come. Trees bend in the breeze, leaves drift across my drive. Summer’s memory flutters within the dried, damp leaves.
