If I Could Change One Thing

When I wake up in the morning,

I would like to change

Something in my backyard.

(I know you are with me, 

Still …..unseen

As of this moment,

But standing 

By our bed as I wake up in the morning.)

 

So, this thing

I want to change 

In the backyard is……

Something about society, being social, being adequate;

About humanity, and love and life review.

 

So far, 

It has no label or word or name.

But it is blue.

And, I think that they call it peace.

Could it be a barbeque ? Yes. 

Could it be a rock ? Yes.

Could it be the future ? Yes.

The Filtering Rain

Dusk walking down the sidewalk.
The rain filters.
We need that again.
The red-breasted robin
Almost crossed.
Coming from the other side,
The squirrel actually did,
And took me by surprise
As it chased the robin.
