In Human FormJuly 31 The Last OneSometimes circumstances
Compel one to take stock
And to change what needs
To be changed
That has happened and now
Decisions have been made
New rules of behaviour apply
From here on out
All that is needed is the will
To make those changes take
Visualise the happy outcome
With a little help April 21 Plumbing the depths (as it were)I thought siphons were for soda
Or for stealing petrol
From a neighbour's car
But today I found another use
For the word
Soaked in water
I had to fix an ailing cistern
The book said there was no need
To call an expert
And so I didn't but I should've
And now my seals
Are imperfect
Not as serious as I thought
But bad enough
Not flushed with success December 19 EnoughHow much is enough?
Right now I feel
I could do with some more
But my instinct tells me
Enough already
December 14 DrizzleLooking out my window I see
Two fat pigeons on the apple tree
Almost motionless in the drizzle
They've been there just as long
As I've been looking at them
They seem unperturbed by the weather
Wish I could say the same
About me
An objective observer might say
That gazing for hours out the window
Indicates I should get out more
Not in this weather mate December 11 In the Long GrassI've been on sabbatical
Taking care of business
I'd almost forgotten where I'd been
And what I'd left behind
Now that I've been reminded
Of all I have
I promise I'll come back
From the long grass July 27 OccasionalOnce in a while
The head above the parapet
The toe in the water
Sussing the scene
Not every day
Life must be lead
Commitments fulfilled
Freedom justified
Occasional
When the mood is right
When the light is green
Like now July 16 ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzThe end of day approaches
All the things you achieved
Or tried to achieve (and failed) throughout the day
Are totted up and accounted for
Added to your life's ledger
You may be in the black or in the red
Depending on the day you've had
So will you categorise yourself
Based on your daily bottom line?
Or will you take the longer view?
That's up to you
Life seen in short snippets can be deceptive
Good people go through hard times
Scoundrels have a lucky run
Which are you?
