A Series of Reruns

Life is a series of reruns;

a boundless gallery of deja vu,

been there done that,

and also rans.

Yet,

every moment is new,

each step forward

is a vast expanse

filled with infinite possibility.

The same face

in the mirror every morning

is facing

new challenges

and opportunities

every day.

Be open to the newness

while you are cherishing

the familiar.

Looking Up and Out

From first to last

Step by step

Our journey through this life

Keeps us looking up

And looking out

(if we look down

We are looking out

And we know which way is up)

Beseech the sky

Or roll our eyes

We ask and wonder and judge

We see

We don’t see

We anticipate

We get blind-sided

The light and color

Our eyes translate

To beauty, love, peace

Or sorrow, pain, loneliness

Put on a show

Pretend you know

What comes next

Then close your eyes

And sigh.

Swatches

Snippets.

Swatches of color and pattern.

Texture, geometry, shapes.

Memory.

Suggestion.

History.
