Those simple moments
Carry me through the weekday
Lunch calls and laughter
Book club, burgers, and music
For dancing in the kitchen.
Those simple moments
Carry me through the weekday
Lunch calls and laughter
Book club, burgers, and music
For dancing in the kitchen.
The day got away
Father time drove by without
Even a hello
Saw the sunset fall through clouds
A brief respite from my screens
Run away with me
Retreat into the mountains
Up where the wind howls
With us wolves who cannot help
But sing along at the moon.
Dew kissed and glowing
A set of golden roses
Arise from the East
Greeting the Northwest anew
Both perfumed and thorned alike.
A door blocks your way
What lies beyond we will see
Starting with a key
Turning possibilities
Into fresh realities
Is this goodbye?
I do not wish it to be,
Alas not my choice,
May jazz always follow you,
Wherever your path may lead
A steady rhythm
You, me, and where the road meets the sky
We laughed our way South
Cheerful Bluebonnets waving
As we pass at highway speeds.
Around our table
Food and drink draws us near but
Love and laughter are
Universal currency
With everlasting returns
Out my window I see
The season playing with me
Calling me a fool
“You think it to be Spring time?”
Mocks the north wind, “Give them hail!”
Come gather around!
The kitchen island awaits!
Drink and me Merry!
A memory of before?
Or a new reality?
