do you sleep
on your feet

times
i wonder
when your response
is a grunt
and your head hangs low
you seem to stumble
are you searching
for something
or
are you in a snooze

you twitch a bit
now and then
do

winter wrapped
a blanket
around
a chill
ran down the spine
creating
a refocusing
on time
spent
spending
or to be

for the time being

be in the moment

feel the chill
when the warmth
of knowledge
subsides

facing fear of change

if i catch you
wandering past
i might not call out

it
a breath-taking day
i don’t want
to interrupt
and get into
your space

for i lie here
with the soft ripples
of time
flowing by

you don’t see me
or hear my

you found me
it wasn’t hide and seek
i just needed
a moment alone
i thought
i was hidden
from view
but you
knew where i would be
the tree
seemed bigger
but you
being smarter
than me
waited

the bull-headed 3
set a meeting
of the minds
no one inclined
to listen
thinking
they might lock horns
rather than reach
a resolution
the elder
spoke in
a firm yet soft voice
relaying
life’s lessons
ones
to learn from
