Morning brings silence
A lonely sadness descends
Solace is the mind

Nothing to report
except that the sun is out
A happy moment

Poem: Eat and Sleep

The cat is like me,
doubtful of the weather
and the encroaching cold.
The open window is no invitation;
unlike me, for him there is
no tomorrow,
merely present hurdles to be passed,
one by one.
To eat, sleep and survive:
If only it was that simple

Haiku: Over Easy

Life’s never easy
It’s hard work doing nothing
One against the flow
