reasons to be happy













at six a.m,
an empty bed















i have creative reasons
for goose flesh




















onion eyes unlock
a star











leaving –
a chance to weigh what i have.













finally
a shot at the art of healing.















a lazy day
crawls under my clipped nails.

















poetry
the cheat sheet of time.



















from a bag of yarn,
the right color to sew happiness























your memory.
a lighthouse.
modern ships.

    poetry the cheat sheet of time- what a fantastic concept. actually, each line is so creative and unexpected. you pack so much meaning in so few words, and i love that about your poems.

    And yes, why is this not a poem?
    I undestand it as a column also, but still,
    it would make for good poetry.

      Thank you


      Well, it's a column mostly because the poems aren't really related. I wrote this lightly.

    Brilliant. I will remember these things and
    I will smile more. If not to just be closer to the eternal clock that is forever ticking, always above my head. A great column Diana. I am most happy when "I am leaving – a chance to weigh what i have."

    Thoughtful.
