It is that time in life

When we are no longer agile

We bend, merely to break

That time, when we fight, only

To fall apart, back into the earth

Splintered pieces of who we were

Fractured figures, once grand in stature

Lying silently, among the moss and dirt

Visions, like chalk on a blank slate

Smudged and smeared, patterns

Forming pictures, erased and retraced

Breathing life into empty spaces

That lay naked, unconcealed

Like a facade, to pretty them up

Window-dressings for my thoughts

Who am I inside this shell?

Confusion sparks a living hell

Four of me, what’s the chance

I’m stuck inside a circumstance

Not quite sure what happens next

So much of me is so complex

Ready to run from a turbulent past

Stopping and standing, brave and steadfast

Falling to my knees, head in my hand

Seeking the answers I don’t understand

Hoping to find how to rid this unrest

Conquering the disturbance is now my life’s quest

I cannot take credit for this. This little ditty has been around for ages and still makes me laugh. Hope it gave you a smile, too.  Now stop hogging the wine and pass it over here!  🙂

The holiday season is here
Everyone’s filled with good cheer
But I have this cold, or so I’ve been told
Maybe you shouldn’t come near

People are shopping like crazy
I shop online, ‘cause I’m lazy
But the doctor affirms, I picked up some germs
Now everything seems a bit hazy

I wonder how that can be
Is this why I’m feeling crappy?
A box full of tissues, oh, so many issues!
Please pour me another cup of tea

I whistle when I breathe, I’m wheezing
And in between that, I keep sneezing
My nose is on fire, all I do is perspire
How can that be if I’m freezing?

Tylenol, Advil, Aleve
With these three things, I believe
I can chase this away, at least for today
Perhaps, just a little reprieve

I’m starting to feel some relief
This cold took my spirit, what a thief!
I hope it’s not longer, til I feel much stronger
Until then, I’ll just lie here, (good grief)
