A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 171

Day 171: “Life is a Constant Change”

I haven’t met the me

That will wake up tomorrow

Or the me that will be walking down the street

A week from now

I’ve said goodbye to many me’s

Some linger

But I’m a new me

Every day

Every minute

Growing

Changing

Getting older

Hopefully wiser

Living

So I’ll rest my head tonight

And say goodbye

Ready to greet the new me in the morning

Day 137: “Life in Death”

Knowing that we’re all going to die

Is actually really comforting

We’re all in this together

The human experience

We can’t escape it

Confronted with our own mortality

It’s actually the only certainty there is

We’re going to die

Instead of letting that be scary

Maybe it could be really freeing

Live now

Because that’s all we know we have for sure

Try to leave the world a better place

Because no matter what

We will leave it

Day 114: “Dream Home”

We wake up

The sun shines effortlessly through our large bay windows

Overlooking the pond

Our room is big enough for us

And our king-size bed

And a reading nook by the window

I walk into the closet for my soft, fuzzy robe

And take the stairs down to the kitchen

Light, bright

Black and white and gold accents everywhere

Modern, effortless, but cozy

Makes me feel rich

Matching, beautiful appliances

Trees changing colors outside,

Visible through the windows

I take my coffee in the sun room

I read

Rest

Write

Enjoy life

The space is ours

And our cat’s

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
