Where have the highlights and low points been for you so far in 2013? Where are you now? How would you like your year to end?
highs and lows, lows and highs
it all depends on whose set of eyes
brilliant sunshine, pouring rain
the thrilling, the exciting, the mundane
long distance calls, family ties
airplane rides across the skies
doctor visits and medications
summer holidays and time with relations
hummingbird wars and fireflies
bright full moons and starry skies
interesting trips down memory lane
belly aching laughter, a blinding migraine
crocodile tears and ear splitting smiles
correspondence and heartfelt replies
nights of insomnia, sometimes sleep
pleasant dreams, nightmares from the deep
fond hello's and long good-bye's
feelings of elation and some hefty sighs
facial pain that brought me to my knees
hay fever, sneezing and allergies
birds and bugs, critters and flies
heat and humidity that multiplies
precious moments, memories made
fun date nights and lemonade
truth, questions and little white lies
ice-cream shakes and apple pies
missing and longing, distance and time
writing, reading, the occasional rhyme
a news story that specifies
why one man lives and another man dies
texture, nature and art painting
a fickle muse, a love of creating
me and you, you and I
we're still here asking what, where and why
lows and highs, highs and lows
that's life . . . . . that's how it goes
Linking up with August Moon
