Daylight savings
Full moon
Pandemic declaration
Friday the 13th
And pie day
A week
Full of it all
And had felt like
The end of times
Daylight savings
Ended
Full moon
Again
Global pandemic
Still ongoing
On Halloween
With an election upcoming
To round it all out
A year
Full of it all
And still feels like
The end of times
Are upon us
If not
Even more so
Now
– James Dubeau
Quitting time
Is here again
And once again
I’m sipping some beers
Immediately
Upon leaving
The clock
Just as I had done
Every work day
Since the beginning
Weekends too
Going through
The back catalog
To divide time
Between work
And private
Without leaving home
Or even
The couch
– James Dubeau
Six months
Since pen touched paper
Six months
Since words freely flowed
Six months
Since I last gave a damn
About this passion
That once upon a time
Brought me joy
It’s time
For passions to return
Not all at once
Not too sudden
I couldn’t handle that
But slowly
Day by day
Word by word
Passions shall return
– James Dubeau
For a few moments
It looked sunny outside
Like it was going to be
A decent day
But the wind blew in
Bringing the clouds
And the cold
And the gloom
Tomorrow shall be worse
As I fear
Even though
I’ll need to get outside
Into fresh air
For a moment or two
To keep my sanity
– James Dubeau
Rain has returned
To the gloomy land
Signs of spring
On the horizon
Wet will melt
Remaining snow
Clearing the paths
For better or ill
I’ve been running
Outside again
If only the cold
Would stay away
As the mornings
Become brighter
With Spring’s return
– James Dubeau
