no trigger

so lovely in their innocence,

the wild hops upon this fence

give off that old familiar scent

i knew in drinking days,

and if i wasn’t on year three

of self-imposed sobriety,

perhaps the hops would trigger me–

i’ve truly changed my ways!

Trail Mix

I’m always exploring new trails, and I’ve come to find that every trail has its own feel–its own personality.

Some are bathed in dappled light,

While others reach a lofty height;

Some are old roads, all grown-in,

And some are downright alien.
