Reflection!

brilliant snow....
the dog and I walk
our footprints sinking in
my summer canvas shoes
damp...our smiles wide..

the time come and gone
like the creek forever
singing where thirsty
the dog drinks...
traffic on the highway passes
and our trail waits
the parking lot to the old
base empty
small portions plowed
the hill waiting
for warmer weather
and leaves
to fill the empty
view..something
interesting
then the turn and vista
of the lake below
..the distance of the
far south town
the water tank
and our lake further
over the city...

all the years of this
and that
and changes
for us all

much more content
more stable
on the medications
away from the poison
caught me in its grip
clearer head and
more positive

doing my duties now
as friend
and man about town
no more whining nor
complaining
what was it then
I fought other then
myself
missing the beauty
of just being

happy to have the
contacts with all
still
a lucky man
a lucky day
alive
beneath the cool
overcast
still witnessing
these splendours

grateful to be
alive
and given another
chance
by God!
