Poem Dec 30th 2013

Contemplation
Meditative music
makes me mellow
musing mutates
mulling multiple
motivations
 manifold
measurements manifesting
model maybe misleading
metaphysical message
meaning muted
mundane
meaningless
maybe melon mulberry
mango mushroom mint marmalade
makes more money.

Poem Dec 2nd 2013

Thoughts Before Surgery
My body awaits
the knife
to fix
what has gone wrong inside
to make it right
my day will be night
as I sleep
allowing the work to go on
Yes, I am nervous about
what could go wrong
The doctors are competent
they know their stuff
enough worry
go under
trust
believe
all will go
as it should be
