“Give Me”
Give me shorter work weeks
so life doesn’t pass by
Give me mountains
with a lake beneath them
With lush grass
and moody skies
Give me a porch
upon which I can sit
For life is better spent
where we feel most alive.
I wrote this in my head while riding on a boat during our recent trip to Lake Barkley in Kentucky. I was thinking about how much I would love to live somewhere with beautiful scenery and imagining what my ideal views would look like.
“To the Wind”
I let things bother me
instead of casting them out
to the wind.
Oh, how I’d love
to watch them float away-
never to be seen again.
I have a bad habit of stewing on the tiniest of things at times. It often makes miniscule issues into more than they are in reality. I often wish certain things could roll off me and be forgotten instead.
