A L O H A From Honolulu!
I'm making friends
with all times of day
Morning noon night.
That's all okay.
Spicy bright morning
anxiety in the afternoon.
Will soon change to sunset
I'll eat it up with a spoon...
...When I was young
everything was clear
except the mystery
of myself.
Cocktail of confidence
with a slug of self-doubt
I hazarded attempts
And figured most of it out...
...Senior years have their fears
But graced with graces too
I am friendly with every
time of the day.
So little left with
which to play.

in the midst of the crowd,
keeps with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.

comes around, all
the lies have to
run and hide.

ReplyDeleteLove your poem and the sign, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSuper, enjoyable post. Loved the capture of two women, one of whom didn't look at all eager to be photographed, but perhaps that was just a chance expression. We never know when that might happen. Lovely Pixie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words, Loved the sign, Amazing sky, Pixie looks cute :)
ReplyDeleteSomething had Pixies' attention.
ReplyDeleteMaking friends with all times of day is easier than making friends with all kinds of people. I just enjoy living in the moment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful the way the clouds have trapped the golden light in the first photo!

ReplyDeleteI am SO very sorry about last Friday. I truly intended to visit sooner, but I was in so much pain, the only thing I did was use the toilet and sleep. It kept the pain at a minimum when I slept.
ReplyDeleteI love all the photos and Pixie with her great quote. I especially loved that Jesus had two fathers and turned out fine.
