for Joni and family

Form follows function.
I exist in the now.
The future uncertain,
The past pains me how?

I love all my memories
But would blur out a few
Loving fully, caring deeply
And once there were two.

And yet those who
Depend on me for life
Still bring me much joy
And center MY life.

If not for those
Humble they be
I would not be here
I’d elsewise be free.

I treasure family
Friends and successes
I exchew the large
Both wrong and excess(es).

But greyer I find
As I understand some
I welcome your presence(s)
On the journey we’re on.

So this year is starting
Both troubled and new
With wiser heads seeing
I trust that they do.

I wish you well
My love sent out
To family and friends
Both local and out…

May the ‘n oughts be forgotton
The pains may they fade
The world through new eyes
Be new’ly remade.

(on this day, January 2010)
