Judgmentally Challenged?

I dreamt of peril at sea last night
As I slept on the ship of despair.
I heard the screams of many trapped souls
In need of angels in air.
Tenacious waters billowed and swallowed

Summer’s pathway has not extended itself to me…yet!

Leaf of a water lily ~
Floats gracefully by.
Birds sing on pond twigs

From the bottom of an old birds’ nest
Buttressed on the outside light…

Tin cup in worn hand
Heavy laden eyelids plead
Sorrow now has name.
Smelly, bedraggled clothing
Redefining Thanksgiving. . .
