I wish

I wish I could see the world like a puzzle

with each piece

having one

rightful

place.

But there is far too much 

idealist romantic

in me 

for that to be the case.

I think

I will always see the world

like a case board

with facts

and people

and events

all interconnected

in bright red,

confusing networks

of life's string.

I wish I could see the world 

without shades of grey

but there is far too much poetry in me

for that to be the case.

    Mist

    Misting

    slowly, a dusting of pearly droplets

    coats the world.

    each one lands separately,

    but over time, they all combine.

    joining forces

    melting together

    to overtake the earth.

    Pushing

    We all push ourselves for something

    we push

              for achievement

              for recognition

              for forgiveness

    After Thanksgiving

    The month

    (ish) 

    of time between Thanksgiving

    and December 25th

    is 

    undeniably

    the best season.

    Everyone is joyous

    despite their

    close-to-frostbitten noses

    here in Vermont.
