pencil thought

on the front step

under the ledge

off to the right

first snow storm

turned windy

and driving rain

an inch and a half

becomes a slushy mess

to walk or drive through

the neighbors driving

to and from their houses

don't notice me sitting here

scribbling in pencil

my thoughts written

while others go about

their day quite differently

keeping a collection of thoughts

some might call them random...

12 hours ago

twelve hours ago
the day began
ice under feet
where water at sunset yesterday
closer and closer
to the shortest day of the year

twelve hours ago
and I am still tired of the grind
can't say for sure
if I love my job or what I do
only can say I love where I am at
trying to stay positive everyday

twelve hours ago
rubbing the sleep from eyes
weary definitely had enough sleep
weary as hell when the day first began
now quite sore from the days work
like everyday

twelve hours pass in
the blink or an eye
or two...
