(1439)▪︎[ The Start Of A Brand New Day … 12•30•2019 ]

[ You Made A Wish Upon A Shining Star When It Was Pitch
Black Dark, In The Night ]
[ It Was So Dark Outside ]
[ You Were Torn Between Your (FIGHT OR FLIGHT) ]

[ That’s The Frame Of Mind That You Get In When You Feel
That You Need To Save Your Own Ass ]
[ It Also Is The Kind of Thinking That You Have When You Are Trying
To Get Away From Your Past ]

[ When The Sun Comes Up, You Are Blinded For A Second Or Two ]
[ Since You Are Not Usually Outside @ This Time ]
[ This Event Was Something New ]

[ You Told Yourself That You Needed To Do This Again ]
[ When It’s A Clear Blue Sky ]
[ With No Rain Or Wind ]

[ You Have Never Been Fond Of Windy Weather ]
[ It Moves Things All Around ]
[ & That Mixes Things Together ]

[ When You’re Out In Short Sleeves ]
[ Raking Leaves ]

[ Into Piles ]
[ The Wind Comes Along ]
[ & Then Makes A Mess For Miles ]

[ You Guess The Weather Can Put A Crimp In Your Plans For Doing
Yard Work ]
[ The Wind Is Not One Of Nature’s Perks ]
[ It’s More Like The Kid From Down The Street ]
[ Coming Through & Acting Like A Jerk ]

[ You’ll Take The Calm Weather Of A New Sunny Day ]
[ You Could Only Wish That You Could Start Every Morning
This Peaceful Way ]

(528)▪︎[ The Sunshine … 6•28•2021 ]

[ The Air Is Stifling When I Go Ouside ]
[ When The Weatherman Predicted This ]
[ I Thought That He Lied ]

[ This Situation ]
[ Reminds Me Of Our Last Las Vegas Vacation ]

[ It Was Well Over 110° During The Hottest Times Of The
     Day ]
[ One Time I Heard 113° ]
[ So I Went ( WHAT DID YOU SAY? ) ]

[ Opening The Door Of Our Car Felt Like I Opened
     An Oven Door ]
[ Then, When She Turned On The Air Conditioner ]
[ There Was More ]

[ Hot Air Blown Into My Eyes & Nose ]
[ I Think I Like The Winter ]
[ When I Almost Froze ]

[ If I Had To Choose, I Would Go With The Cold ]
[ Instead Of The Heat ]
[ Even Though It Makes My Joints Feel Old ]

[ This Type Of Heat Stops Everything ]
[ Because No One Wants To Do Anything ]

[ Normally Heat Brings Out The Sun Bathers Headed
     For The Beach ]
[ But This Kind Of Heat, Makes Everybody Feel Weak ]

[ Weak In The Knees & Weak In The Whole Body ]
[ But Nothing Beats The Look Of A String Bikini On
     A Female Hottie ]

[ Heat Warms Up The Food But Becomes An Inconvenience
     When It Goes Too High ]
[ & No Matter How Much Water I Drink ]
[ My Mouth Still Feels Extremely Dry ]

[ The Sunshine Is Always Good To See ]
[ The Sunshine Is Always Good To Feel ]
[ Especially When The Sunshine Can Be ]
[ Real ]

(453)▪︎[ All Bad? … 5•4•2020 ]

[ The Sun Now Sets ]
[ On A Day That Seemed To Be Filled With Unrest ]

[ What Happened When I Woke Up? ]
[ If I Would Had Known How The Day Was Going To End ]
[ I Would Had Just Wanted To Lie There With My Eyes Shut! ]

[ The Day Started Out Good, But Went Downhill From There ]
[ If My Head Was Not Already Bald ]
[ I Would Had Pulled Out Every Single Hair ]

[ It Seemed To Be One Thing After Another ]
[ If I Chose One Thing Of Two ]
[ I Would Find That I Should Had Picked The Other ]

[ & Another Thing That I Didn’t Know ]
[ Was, All Through That Day ]
[ I Was One Step Too Slow ]

[ Even @ The Start ]
[ My Horse Was Behind The Cart ]

[ The Cart Should Not Be In Front, Of Course ]
[ The Cart Should Be Pulled By The Horse ]

[ So I Had Everything Upside Down ]
[ Whenever I Took A Step Forward ]
[ I’d Find Myself On The Ground ]

[ How Could This Be? ]
[ Who Tripped Me? ]

[ Oh, I Did This To Myself? ]
[ This Was Not Done By Someone Else? ]

[ So That Was The Kind Of Day That I Had ]
[ Instead Of A Good Morning ]
[ The Whole Day Was Bad ]

(82)▪︎[ The Horizon … 1•23•2021 ]

[ As I Look Out @ The Distant Horizon ]
[ I Wonder ( WHAT’S GOING ON? ) ]

[ Are Those People Smiling, Are They Happy? ]
[ Or Are They Frowning & Angry ]

[ How Could I Tell ]
[ If They Were Doing Well? ]

[ I Guess It Would Be Totally Up To My Vivid 
     Imagination ]
[ Could I See A Picture ]
[ Through My Concentration? ]

[ Sometimes When I Am Attempting To Connect
     All Of The Dots ]
[ My Mind Goes Blurry ]
[ Then All I See, Is Fuzzy Spots ]

[ & The Picture That I Thought Was Coming In Crystal
     Clear ]
[ Is Longer Here ]
[ Because In The Haze ]
[ It All Disappeared ]

[ ( OH WELL ) I Say ]
[ I Will Look Through My Imagination On Another
     Day ]

~ The End ~
