something comfortable

i slip into something comfortable

well-worn slacks and soft, long-armed

shirt that warms, caresses arthritic

wrists and helps bent fingers write

what my nature-filled acres

in the foothills gifts to my joyous soul

hate, too

     haiku

pain and fear encage

blinding panoramic views

of the joy of life
