i can’t explain the wind
and why bother trying
like us
the wind begins somewhere
and ends somewhere else
does it matter why
walking outside
even though i am not well
the wind feels good on my face
and i am staying right here
just being
-jobe
a break from the winter rains
perhaps a few days of sunshine
it is sunrise and i sip coffee
watching through a window
as wild finches peck in my yard
and on the patio
making small sounds that please me
in my imagination I took a long walk
as my body was too weak to do so
and in my mind I found a world
of fields and woods with no footprints
in all directions this world was new and clean
my body is weak but my world is still wild
and absolutely free
-jobe
your life is unique
follow your own path
and leave the naysayers behind
your life
your choices
your karma
-jobe
No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen.
