Day: May 11, 2023

It is noon

 sunlight strobes on the

  ripples of the inland sea

   causing excitement and

    lifting my late fall spirits

The road running

  parallel to the shore is

   dark, almost dreary, as

    tall dense trees block

     these same rays

Here and there the

 sun breaks through

  cheering my heart

I think of life

 Its ups and downs

  the good, the bad

The variances

  so much to love

    plenty to dislike

Work to do, while

  thankful for all

   that has been done

Light on the lake

darkness on the road, only

  four hundred feet away

No sense to this, but

 this is the way of truth

   an opportunity for denial

     a chance to make false claims

Some may believe

   secure spirits have no doubt

     remain open to new projects

       refuse to be bogged down by

        contingencies holding no water

Strobes are like truth

  some look away

   not willing to accept and then

    lean toward misery

Others find joy

  look for new possibilities

Condition can be improved

 new ways are shown

Good ideas are born as

 positivity strikes down

  the  negative

It was to be an outdoor

Wedding with nature being

An attraction and felt to be

A good way to start off a life

Together. A small reception

Was planned, and then

The departure of the guests and

A private weekend in a cabana

On the lake shores. Everything

Was perfect except the weather

Did not cooperate with the plans

The event took place on the board-

Walk hurriedly and then

A quick walk to the reception.

The guests quickly forgot about the

Windy cold weather and warmed

Themselves up with champagne and

Mixed drinks. The number was

Limited as the guests said good luck

And farewell. When the last of them

Left the bride and groom were alone

With each other for the first time as

Man and wife. It was a different feeling

As they had made a commitment to

Each other which they intended to keep.

There was no additional honeymoon as

Both worked and a lot of money was

Needed for them to find a place to

Settle down and make a home. In the

Late afternoon the sun showed through

The clouds and this was taken as a good

Sign. The new week in a way was a respite

And life would fall into place as it does

For everyone. Happiness is a state of mind

And attitude and respect are related.

The adventure was over and also just beginning.
