46.

Train car from 1960.
Landscape from a million years.
A twisted life generations in the making
you realize now (after the fact).

45.

I know life

Makes you richer with experience. 

But it tears at your heart

Regardless. 

44.

Pack bags
weather gets colder

get lost.

43.

Funeral
Wear the same thing every time
The guest of honor won't be offended.

42.

Too much lies in the silence
to tell.

It is not that you are not alive.
It is that you are not living
so you have nothing
more
to say.

41.

Serendipitous
Somehow
You say you haven't written a poem in years

He says all you speak is verse.

40.

Early bird
gets
the
worm

Wait till midnight
All the words are gone

Go to bed
hungry.

39.

Two politicians bark at each other while the world watches 

breath baited

Can you blame them though? 

Have you heard what the other is saying?

38.

The leaves haven't turned yet in Central Park 

But it is not summer

All is quiet 

Somehow

Waiting. 

37.

...but once the presents are opened,
it's hard to know
if you are different.

36.

The magic of the night
before the morning
of Christmas
still remains as we grow up

The meaning is just different

and the calendar.

35.

If there is nothing to say

Don't. 

34.

There's a new World Trade Center. 

People walk in and out

More at rush hour, 

heading to jobs, 

heading home. 

The lobby shines

Everything is ordinary. 

That is what time is. 

33.

What lies around the bend is yet unknown.
There is danger, and peril and terrifying storms before it.
But you must walk this path, there is no
exit
no off ramp or
shortcut
to greener pastures.

You know this road is the one.
The clouds tower up ahead
Dark grey
Thick with threat

Walk on

Come through the other side.

32.

"'Well,' said Pooh, 'what I like best,' and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called."

31.

Fall comes so quickly to the island; there is no time to stop and mourn. A frozen bride shivers near a Central Park landmark, forces a smile in sleeveless silk. 

Squirrels prepare for winter.
