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.
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
