These are the days of miracle and wonder

Cloudless blue skies bring sunshine, birdsong, and misery
Who knows why on the best of days
Thinking too much, not enough, about nothing
Surprised by an aching lump in the throat
The relentless craving for sleep
And restlessness

Heavy

Tipping the scale past all rational numbers
Payback for forgetting the miserable reality of mirrors
A call to arms and the white flag of surrender all at once

Snacks are always just that much better than willpower.

Weekend at the Lake

This is where my friends are
Silliness and shooting stars
The end of "just one more year"
A new girl and old jokes
That still make me laugh

A weekend without worries or tears
Where nobody remembers who won all the games
And the fish can always rise from the ashes.
Home is where my friends are
And I can breathe easy

Aug 6, 2006

Reaching a milestone
In better shape than I ever expected
Bringing her joy
Call it a success if you want

Blessed and content
With lingering doubt
That it's just that much better
Than I deserve
