Eve of New
original photograph–Leona J. Atkinson 2013
On this Eve
Of a New Year’s dawn,
Old and new
Thoughts abound.
As I pack away the past,
And open new doors.

An Old Familiar Place
I shouldn’t be here
Dwelling in the past
Shedding a tear
I shouldn’t be here
Reliving yesteryear
Thinking of things that didn’t last
I shouldn’t be here
Dwelling in the past

National Cat Day
A special day to
Honor the memory of
Family felines
Jinx, MoMo, Morris, Pablo
Past and Present furry friends

Every October 29 is National Cat Day
Precious Moments
Another day past
The leaves continue to fall
Another sunset
Life seems to become more dear
As each day comes to a close

NaPoWriMo 2013, #6–Farewell
Today I said farewell to my past
as I watched memories burn in a fiery blaze and rise to the sky.
I said “Goodbye”
To letters, notes, and photographs,
As they went up in flame.
A pile of gray black ash is all to remain
of things saved and collected for years.
All is now gone and I with eyes full of tears
Look around me and feel free.
