Lines and Freewrite 11/7/17

Fantasy or Leisure?
Love or Pleasure?

A Life More Ordinary.

Light flowing unobstructed from the sun
And even when there are obstacles in place
it seeps through every crack it can find.
How many mornings of your life have you
woken and been greeted by the light flowing
down upon you More often than not I would
suppose I do not wish to be hidden from the
sun I want to bask in its warmth and find the
places I have always wanted to see They are
out there waiting for me Wake and rise and
see Wake an rise and see This life is now
and it will always be We are always subject
to change without notice Impermanence is
all we can ever rely on Change is change is
change is change Are you awake now Are
you still in bed at home Is there a dog curled
up at your feet I once touched your skin and
hair and fed from the warm smile you would
give Miles apart Separated by time Willful
and needed or will and unnecessary Making
the best of this is all we could do Does the
body have dreams apart from the mind Is
there memory dormant in its bones ligaments
and muscles that the mind has never known
Another morning Another time to consider
everything Nothing could be more than this
Everything is everything now Deeper into
Fall Winter is approaching with each passing
day Chilly wind washes through the branches
of the trees And in the heart of Winter we
will be conserving heat and counting the days
and nights waiting for the first blooms
waiting for life to renew its promise waiting
for Spring waiting to open windows and
let walk through the front door and see
how the world has changed and what beauty
must still remain
