Not everything in life is clear
As clear as we want it to be
Blurry isn’t always bad
Blue isn’t necessarily sad
Finding our way to each other
Takes a bit of risk
A blurry breakfast

Making Do
We look past places
With traits unlike our designs
Let’s make do, and thrive
Nest in an elevated pipe
NaPoWriMo Day 7
Cold and Rainy Race
Cold and rainy won’t keep us out
Crossing the finish line is what it’s about
Twelve thousand of our closest friends
Keep us company going around the bend
Walking just over two hours is a good pace
While we chat during the Capitol 10K race
We ran a marathon a long time ago
Now it’s just for fun, personal records we’ve let go
Musicians play for us on our way
And volunteers give us water keeping thirst at bay
It was cold, rainy and it was fun
Even though we were so far back we never heard the starting gun
(My placement was 11,610 of 11,992 finishers. Smokin’!!)
NaPoWriMo Day 6 (No one said it had to be good poetry.)
Race Starts Here
Took us almost 13 minutes to get to the start line after the race started
Almost 12,000 of our closest friends
Downhill, but uphill followed
Musicians played for us
Drummers with a beat
Now I want a pink cowboy hat
Even the race fans trained!
Ta-da! We made it!
Bridges
Bridges wake dreamers
Who struggle with knowledge that
Their lives are at stake
Connecting lives

My Heart Lurches
My heart lurches each time Luna stumbles
Often now, over paths she’s taken a million times
She prances in the cool breeze
I let her chase me for a few steps
Happy to be caught, paying my ransom
In scratches behind her ears
Her breathing is labored after the frolicking
Mine is shallow in empathy
We converge in the moment of
Unconditional love
Luna
