i doze in my chair
with accompaniment of
crickets and frogs
the campfire slowly fades
into the midnight hour

When fear is let go, the free mind can make a clear decision and serenity prevails.

I've had a tanka prose published to this online magazine. Extremely well done. Great job to all of the poets and artists involved! Here's my contribution: I found a man with his hands in his face. Defeated. A former teacher, now in his late seventies. His Alzheimer’s progresses rapidly. Along with other health concerns. A list. He has trouble communicating his needs. But this is clear. As he sits on a bench. Clear, he’s emotionally exhausted. I go over and sit next to him. deaths door opens wider each day a new journey silently i put my arm around his shoulder Roy Kindelberger is an elementary teacher and memory care manager. He lives in Edmonds WA. Roy says: “As I make my journey through a memory care home, helping residents, I feel a connection. Even if it’s only for a moment. That connection of a handshake, a hug, a tear, a story, or a laugh. It most certainly puts things into perspective.” I have two haiku in Jumble Box. I’m extremely excited.

We all know the feeling of déjà vu and its power of transforming our feelings. Roy says: “It’s about mending the past. Bridges were broken.” Words of strong feeling are memorable and have power to connect and mend. Enjoy! I realized I hadn't posted a short poem that was published in July. Well, here it is:
