May

It is May
Temperatures have warmed
Trees are leafed out
Grass is getting high
The worst of the storms are passed
Mid-spring is lovely
Time to get outside

Newbie

So our new hire started today
How to bring them onboard
How do you not bore them
How do you not overwhelm them
How do I remember when I was new

Lost days

Laying in bed
For day upon day
Awake now and then
To try to eat
Drink something
Maybe a shower today
Sick and tired
Of being sick and tired

Trails

Running along a trail
In the green woods
Flowers along the way
Purple, pink, white
Springy ground pushes
Jumping little rivulets
Alone in the quiet
This is my glory
Today is forever

Rolling Stone

A schedule full of things
Work and family and running

But look here is a hole
I am not completely busy
I can see a spot I could go

Go somewhere I haven't been
Go to visit my son, my siblings, my friends
Go to see a national treasure

Fill the gap up completely
Plan a trip to somewhere
Roll along gathering no moss

The Drive

Facing sitting in an airport
On a beautiful sunny day
Cancelled my flight
Rented a one way car rental
Took about 12 hours to drive
What should have been 4 or 5
Stopping to enjoy the sun
Listening to my podcasts
Enjoying the drive

Sleep

Like a child I fight against sleep
Too many things to get done
I might miss out on something

Like a child in a moving train
I sleep the hours away
Missing the scenery but not caring

Sleep can be glorious
Sleep can be missing something
Sleep is nourishing none-the-less
