In The Moment

I feel like I haven't written anything of substance in a long time. And I have no idea where my sense of humor went. I'm working on projects at work and traveling a lot and there's so much at home. I think it's because there is so much going on that I'm living very much, "in the moment", without time to think through a thought, much less flesh it out into a post. When I do have a spare moment, I very much need for my mind to be quiet right now, not trying to produce. There will always be tidbits and nonsense on my blog but I don't want that to be all there is. So I'm taking a couple weeks off. I doubt I'll be gone long. I'll be back as soon as I think of something...or something important happens...or I get bored...you know how I am.

For the moment, I wrote this a very long time ago. I posted it here a few years back, too.
I thought it would be appropriate because... well...it's happened again.

See You Soon : )

In To July

June has slipped
 through my fingers

A suntan oiled palm

Slipping out of my grasp

 to bask in sweat soaked July.

In haste to higher altitude

 this past, a time to remember

Held vaulted in film canisters

Waiting on my kitchen counter

 for lackluster rebirth

The summer child

notched in a doorframe

Two more to be etched

as milestones passed

After the Star Spangled evening.

I have yet to taste the salt

To gather the sun glittered

abandoned homes of sea life

To slowly drip a medieval castle

But I will do these things

Finish this heat induced scavenger hunt

The summer a shimmering runway I traverse

I fly at the end to Fall

Merely a mirage

As I crash land in the heat

Of my home town.
