A rally expected soon where violence occurred a few short months ago, in a similar gathering. Fences, barricades and probably reluctant watchers and defenders will stand in columns ready to keep the peace. These persons will be the “everyday” heroes of our troubled times. So if all do their duty they need not fear harm–only an extreme optimist would believe this.

Family means love to me
Peace may come and go
Frame remains steady
Where the loving spirits flow.

A warm feeling reverberates whenever I think of the special times we shared. I have memories good and bad of course, as most persons married for almost fifty years do. But I filter the best, the romantic words spoken and treasure them. You will always be my first real love and those rare moments whisper through me.

My luxuriant approach deceiving
My appearance may be misleading
Never showing my quirky sides
Allowing all of them to hide
While portraying a wealthy bloke
So the decisive “yes” you spoke
Maintains my exuberant style of life
It’s all I need in a wife.

I hope, not pretend, sitting here, quieting my tongue, basking in the luminous shine of a warm sun, when my thoughts mix an elixir. Maybe this will lead to the crumbs of proprioception left in my limbs and rejuvenate them to action. The original cicatrix remains, but a wish can last a lifetime.

Even with a line of candlelight, kneeling down on dewy green carpets, touching the living land, my tears come. The wheels of autumn start to roll in, dispensing cool air to dry flowers, and curl brilliant colored leaves for first snowflakes. It is never too late to worship Mother Nature and appreciate the timing of seasons.

I finally bit the bullet and clicked the 17 “update all”s on my iPad since I’ve been having a few problems with some apps. Wow!
My WP app has changed the reader and my email notices so you may not be getting my comments or likes. My ancient yahoo email just updates frequently without my permission, which is always frustrating.
I wonder who sits in a cubicle somewhere, surrounded by their favorite funky pop characters, cold pizza and dry Starbucks coffee cups, beady bloodshot eyes and wicked grin, seeing how much chaos they can cause with their sticky keyboard.
Maybe it’s time for a new protest group comprised of people like me who are tired of trying to comply to what seems like newly structured formats every five minutes.

Shuffling in line to the sound of chains
Dignity no longer remains
The line shifts with each step
Familiar cadence with sideways rep
Each man jostled by sticks with jolts
Iron doors are closed by bolts
A daily trip to the yard
Never scrivened by a bard
Tiring routines are the norm
No expectations form
Do the crime and
You do the time
Singsong words by judging men
Some innocents remember when
They thought their truth would win
Now they too are shufflin’.
