A Day at the Park

Today we walked to the park for a relaxing picnic and some much needed fun out of the house.

There was some fun at the playground.

There was some fun with a scooter while the bike sat unused.

Even Baby Girl has some fun, after she got in fight with another dog. The other dog started it.

This is my favorite shot fo the day. A picture perfect example of how Baby Girl is almost all of the time; On the move.

Seasons

20110407-_dsc4742

Colors change as the light shifts in the sky

My deepening melancholy darkens my mind

Storms in my heart develop at thunderous rates

My soul grows dark as my thoughts fall in the gutter.

 

Light changes as the leaves finish their descent

My heart grows cold to the touch

Ice forms in my veins, crimson icicles of despair

This restrictive mortal coil I long to shed

 

Colors change as green starts its approach

My heart begins its thaw as the ice begins to melt

Days in the sun warm more than my skin

Flowers lift more than their petals to the sky

 

The light changes and the thaw is complete

Dwelling in the despair of the blue never more

Golden wheat and blue skies enrich my days

 Basking in the sunlight of more enlightened moods

 

But the color will change again and evermore

The cycle of life will not stop its relentless pursuit

Moving forward through the seasons is all I can do

Because the alternative is a black lonely place
