Almond Blossoms

I think there is no painter
Who could look 
At Vincent van Gogh’s paintings
And not wonder at the skill

His use of color
He painted himself right into the work
He made the world a better place
Because he painted

Completely Exhausted

The morning finds me in a fog
Hard to get to sleep last night
When at last I slept
I think I traveled many miles

What an adventure
For this morning I am 
Completely exhausted
In the silence of the bright sunshine

Last night my mind raced
As if it was the last time
Going over what happened in the past
What I did and didn’t do

Creating different endings
To my stories
Or new stories
To try out
