Names

I wonder if, like my pets,
I should have many names
That tell my story.
Hello, my name is Survivor,
Witness, Flotsam-dragged-along,
But you should know,
I became Observer,
and The One Doing Things Differently.
Some changes turned me into
It Cost a lot, on an Emotional Level,
And currently,
I am Brave Enough to Just Be.
Which is hard enough on any
Given day!

Sun

Should I sit a while in the winter sun,
And gather thoughts in clumps of nothing.
I would sit on the cold, cold rock,
And pull them out of thin air.
One day I did this, until the chill came round,
And my final action was
To take the clump of thoughts,
And hurl it far away!
