Poetry
The Screen Door
Seen each day, as the second door closes without drama,
And a final check is made for keys and a cell phone.
Yet, someone spend time designing a screen with a purpose,
And even creativity.

Did the author think of the bees which would be separated from my breakfast?
Did a production manager agrees to a stronger and more expensive door?

I know not, but the door is somehow a little more present today.

As I AM.
Sadness
Sometimes as wide as a river which has burst its banks,
Spilling out to engulf everything we touch,
Until it is sodden.
xxxx
At others like an arrow, directed specifically to wound,
And pierce a heart which we thought was protected,
Yet it is not.
xxxx
We can swim to shore,
Or visit the infirmary to heal the wound,
But we cannot endure on our own.
xxxx
For this sadness penetrates our soul, and the eternal soulmate,
Who dwells within.
