While traveling away on foreign leas

Sent his wife blooms a sail on the seas

And hoped she would admire their scent

But even knowing his sincerity meant

She spied them with harsh avail

“I hope these weeds were on sale!”

A simple ode for a Saturday dawn

Cooler days here, a summer to mourn

Autumn feels shown in the breeze

Harvest time is near

Those foods we hold dear

Are the delicious ripe fruit in the trees.

In a world now quite precarious

Few remain gregarious

It could be fear

For ones you hold dear

Or simply that you’re not hilarious!

When doubt and lack of hope

Are prevalent in the news

It’s difficult for your muse

To see humor or tell a joke

It should never stop the guile

Of showing the eyes of a smile

It gets you over the pile

Of the subjected daily vile.

In a world turned upside down, it is hard to remain positive. Here we sit precariously or fall into the abyss. It is our choice to hold on or let go.

Nothing looked the same as before. Everything was upside down and she seemed to be floating! It was surreal, and she thought she must be dreaming! Surely her mind had concocted a world she had seen the night before in a movie. She did have a vivid imagination, but then started to panic. The water kept rising around her body and she recognized actors on the sinking ship in the movie, and not one of those characters survived.

The fustian prince slit open the packet of sleeping pills, observing them in his hand—a portable demise to cull and guarantee his secrets would not be told by the pair of spying beauties—birds he no longer wanted to sing. He dropped them into their waiting palms aware of the quick death they would cause.

A new adventure begins on these tracks–this railway to the unknown, and my future.
