These Things

no tears

no crying

for the loss

where moments

lived

recline

feet up

pipe in hand

pondering

your present

worries

all your

woes

it knows

as no other knows

present fades

into

recumbent 

retiree

it doesn’t last

these things, too, pass

Been A While

It can take a while

to create a brand new normal,

A while that could be days

or months

or maybe even years,

Could be that it might be,

could take,

might take,

longer,

A while it takes,

sometimes

seems forever,

eternal whiles

to normalise new ways.
