Bucket List

What I am doing is enough for me
Because it has to be enough for me
Has to have been enough for me
Without a list made out for me

You Might Find Yourself a Fraud

Perhaps you might feel yourself a fraud

On occasion this might be true

Know all human’s are flawed

That is not the sum of you

Winter Feels Like Scorn

Winter feels like scorn

Spring a distant legend

By the fire I shall warm

Until brighter suns do beckon

If none come

It’s the end I reckon

Shopping at the Goodwill

At the Goodwill among the used and worn

Buying a footrest made before I was born

It will be my treasure despite others scorn

Cognition/Grace

With cognition comes sadness

Sorrows we must all face

Luckily

Interspersed among the losses

Are moments of overwhelming grace
