My stomach rumbling loudly
But I don't throw up

We sing. We pray. We listen.

Howling Three-Year Olds

Howling three-year olds
Singing Christmas songs . . . I think
May just be yelling.

Sick and Sweaty

Darkened, quiet room
Alone with fever and thoughts
Sick and sweaty night

So irritating
Volunteer your time to be
Taken for granted

Bright spots on a black canvas

Expectant hearts prepare to
Celebrate His birth

Stretched out on the floor reading
The hours slip by

Gathered together
Around the dinner table
We give thanks today

I didn't call in sick . . . but it was tempting!

I greet you with pleasant smile
And a cheery wave

Bob Dylan

Lyricist . . . poet . . .
A jingle, jangle genius.
A folk rock hero.

I was listening to Mr. Tambourine Man today by Bob Dylan. That dude has a way with words. Even if you aren't a fan of his voice, you have to admire his ability to craft a memorable, beautiful lyric.

Defeated

Withered. Defeated.
A dead leaf's tenuous grasp . . .
I waft to the earth.
