How did we come to this?
Done with each other?
What happened to that
falling in love elation,
the love of our lives,
the soulmates forever?
Were we fooling each other
initially, playing parts we
were not, hiding our authentic
selves? How did we go from
loving to hating each other?
You done with me.
Me done with you.
Why did true love
become so untrue?

Time ticking
Earth turning
Birds flying
Animals roaming
Insects scurrying
Humans hurrying

Birds, animals,
Insects, humans dying

Earth still turning
Time still ticking
Never in a state of flux

Bob Boyd

He’d been hiking in the snow.
The temperature dropped below zero.
It got colder and colder and colder.
He feared he would freeze to death
Then things got far worse.
He heard the wolves howling.
He knew they were coming for him.
Mercifully he passed out before dying.
He woke up warm the next day.
The wolves huddled around him,
His life saved by them.
