The Seventh Poem May 15, 2022


The season changes with rain,

with sun. We close on May soon,

enter June. Summer beckons.

The hens keep laying. The sun

turns the curtains full orange.

I wake as if from a drugged sleep,

close and open my hands, pull

myself upright and make my

toast, heat tea. These days are

full. My mind sends me words

as it wakes. Many thoughts

converge. I expect messages.

Too much at once, yet I want

all that is coming my way. I

live among my worries, yet

hope for the best answers,

the best help,

the certainty of love.
