Is There Anybody Out There?

Is there Anybody Out There?

Gazing blissfully at the night sky

A million million pinpricks of light

Are visible to my eye

As they brighten the night

Unaware of the time

Mind pondering

The vastness of the of nighttime

Overcome by the majesty

Of the galaxy

Feelings of smallness wash over me

Standing small and alone

I intone

Is there anybody out there?

In the February Sunshine

Walking

In the brilliant sunshine

Warm temps

Is this global warming

Maybe, possibly

Is it our Lord

Showing us his glory

I like to think so

Walking

Dragon Head

#PromptCompetition39

Dragon Head

Dragon head

Oh dragon head

Fantastic beast

Of imagination

Flying through the skies

Breathing fire

Spreading fear

Causing havoc

Now a finely

Crafted sculpture

Mounted

On a table

A trophy to behold

Reading

Reading

Reading by the pale moonlight

My mind begins to dream

I take flight

Floating on a moonbeam

Surrounded by trees

I am unconfined

By the vagries

Of my mind

I play the book  

Like a piano

Babbling

A brook flows thru

Yet it has no beginning

Or end

Only a middle

Imaginings of a stimulated mind

I love to read

It can lead

Me

Anywhere

Lunch

Lunch

Fish on my plate

Ain’t that great

But wait

There’s a mermaid

Displayed

I’m dismayed

I wanted fish

Not mermaid

On my dish

Miss You My Friend

Miss You My Friend

One year ago today

My friend passed away

Cancer reared its ugly head

And shred

My friend’s life thread

My memory

Of you

Runs like a documentary

In the recess

Of my mind

I wrote this little ditty

To keep your memory alive

On my internal drive

Miss you Dunk ♥
