    Sunday

    I woke up all cranky,
    super grumpy,
    with pain in my neck
    and a light head.
    To rebalance myself
    I went to the park,
    the movement and the greenery
    did help a little,
    but not enough.
    My nose was itchy,
    my sinuses exploding.
    I inhaled some steam
    with essential oils in it:
    eucalyptus, peppermint,
    clary sage, rosemary,
    lavender and tea tree.
    I never fail to be amazed
    at how effective it is.
    To celebrate it,
    I wrote this poem,
    sipping thyme herbal tea.

    Runaways

    I'm mourning my good mood,
    for a fleeting moment
    soft between my fingers
    before slipping away, again.

    I pray for its return,
    though I don't blame it
    if it chooses not to
    in this depressing season.

    Until then I’ll wait,
    counting spots on the ceiling,
    listening to pigeons cooing.
    Amen.
