today
gratitude stays away
“dis-ease” –
some want me to call it
those whom it does not visit
by no means “disease”!
twenty-four hours
year after year after year
my constant companion
fatigue, aches, fatigue, pains, fatigue, disorientation, fatigue
work gets done
must make a living
at what cost?
triple the rest
to do only the least
reminiscing
Hannelore Kohl
sun drains energy
body’s defective demands
merely that
today
gratitude stays away
