The Search for Home

If I could live anywhere, anywhere at all
I wonder indeed, where I would choose my fall
I loved Germany, the renaissance of Dresden
The rehearsed lore of Trier, you just have to see it
Yet the industrial tirades of Frankfurt
took my breath away, for all the wrong reasons
Very close, still, no home for me
Then there was Panama
Puerto Bello so perfect, but unfitting all the same
Home of the locally famous "black Jesus"
The expansive canal left my affection in awe
My tinkering skills, voided by this monstrous beast
From the oh so proudly defiant White Cliffs of Dover
To the noble monarchy swag of London
Past the lonesome ghosts of Wake Island
Then circling Penang in a Blink on a moped
Riding a rickety rickshaw in Thailand
The Sake of Japan made me feel green
To the daunting hotels of ultra clean Singapore
I did grow up under the treasuring skies of Montana,
I wonder if .. Just maybe
Mountains beyond majestic, rise higher than eagles dare fly
Clear lakes so deep they take your mind away, could it be
Sadly no, not home anymore, see mom, she passed away, years ago
my heart swears it was yesterday, the pain so real, unmerciful
Her ashes I placed in reverence, along a friendly cliff
Beside the sea, a Lighthouse to comfort her evenings
Here in Oregon, about thirty miles from me, a short drive
She would have liked the spot..
I miss her, I hope she misses and remembers me, her boy
I salute, say I love you mom as I pass by
Then shortly after wipe the burning tears from my eyes.
We move on...
we have too.
So considering it all right now, this moment
The places I have seen, and lucky to have traveled
I found my home again, in the memories birthed in this poem
... and this is where I need to be

Arrows

little arrow up
little arrow down
just tiny little arrows
tempering the days sound
not launched from a bow
or by some love lost cupid
no, these little arrows humble
alive on a page, red or green
often they sting just the same
when they abruptly question
choices we have secretly made
Just these simple little arrows
can make or ruin your day

I wrote this just now, to share, Have a safe and Happy New Year

Fulfilled

The air, it seems colder, bolder, in skies of winter grey
accepted this final day, one upon thousands before
yet stands alone, tired, aching... and old
it rises to memories of youth, one last time, as it must
blows past yesterday, with no style or grace
abruptly shoving and pushing, it cares little
no regard for the cries, joys, hurt or sorrow
of yesterday, or yesterdays long before
impossible to stop or even slow
not for one minute, nay even one flick
driving forward like a train at full coaled steam
Past the pathway, there along the river
just around the bend, you know the one
finally it slows, nearer still, just a few more ticks
it finds you, bushes softly upon your cheek
glances a last goodbye, tussles through your hair
suddenly its gone... another year has passed

Good news the new glass scale reads the same as my older plastic scale that flexed when stood on, not safe.

I am going to write a few lines of poetry on all my postings, this is the first.

Back to yesterday,

Looking not so far in my past,
You may quite possibly see
screams of a child, lonely, lost and sad
... kidnapped
Yet somehow he too was seeking
Looking ahead to this now me
One of hope, always hope, as hope has to be
Sometimes I fail this side of me
But if my past tells my future
Then indeed my future tells my past
I struggle on

thinking of buying a new digital scale today, this one I have had for years and doesn't feel stable while standing on it. Doing good with calorie reduction, trying to maintain it at 1600 calories per day. Went to bed wanting food, so I need to adjust the my eating times to avoid that feeling.

I so wanted to jump up and just dive in something bad, at least I didn't dream about food.

On track and actually enjoying the flavor and small plates.
