Oops

I let it get away on me

I wasn’t watching carefully

And now I’m dealing with the consequences

Of my inattentiveness

And I don’t like it

Don’t like what I allowed to happen

Underneath my nose, as it were

Fallen, really

I’ve fallen from a great height

I undid an accomplishment that I was proud of

Negated all my previous good choices

Set myself back a spell

Best not to linger any longer at the point of regret

I’ll get nowhere but depressed by doing that

I’m putting up the no parking sign

I’ll pick myself up

And start again

This time

With eyes wide open

Still stinging from

But not stuck on

Yesterday’s mistakes

Soul Speak

Sometimes I don’t feel like painting the barn

Or making my hair do what it doesn’t want to hair-do

Impending Doom unsubstantiated

Does freaking out make one a freak?

I read the warning

Of course, it was in red letters

On this Windy Day

On this windy day

The wind buffeted my head

This Momentary Life

This is it

This moment right here

This one mundane, terrifying, sublime, extraordinary moment

He Came to Us

He came to:

an elderly couple–a hesitant priest and his barren wife.

an innocent teenager and her gracious fiancé.

Guilty

When falling into sin

It’s never really falling

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Feelings

Feelings

Who knew they could be so much trouble

Thirsty

I placed the little paper cup

Beneath the spout and chunks of frozen water tumbled out

A Poem to Myself

Choices

Small, intentional steps in some direction
