4.5.12 - tiny

new Lives
fresh beginnings
renewed Hope
Spring has come

4.4.12 - someone who makes me happy

these hands which 
~ toiled in fields as a "farm boy"
~ tinkered with planes as a "fly boy"
~ fixed engines as a "grease monkey"
~ cared for children as a "father"
~ tended my pony as a "grandfather"
~ played games as a "great grandfather"
~ folds, refolds napkins as a "dementia patient"

4.3.12 - mail

coffee & creamer, by the pound,
fuel him on his rounds

to deliver each letter across town
or package from the world around

midweek circulars weigh him down
yet he greets with a smile, nevera frown

4.2.12 - colour

crystal kaleidoscope colours
dancing diamond doorway
myriad memories meld
prancing prismatic patinas

4.1.12 - my reflection

                      foolish

seeking something in the fleeting glimpses of
                     reflections
of selves passing through, being passed by,
                     time past
seeing someone in the shimmering glances of
                     reflecting
on leaving lovers, in last dances,
                     chances lost
