End of an Era!
For the employee or firm?
Perhaps both are true.
But growth requires great changes,
Sometimes at the highest level.

Not Tanka
What is the word for
a heart so full but also
breaking?
Is there even a word?
It may be like rain
falling through sunshine.
I am of two minds,
Warring for a single heart,
Forty hands holding,
Only so much weight before –
A trust fall is just falling.
An endless walk
Or so it would regard us
Without thoughtfullness
It marches side by side us
Ready to strike at the heart.
May I hold onto
These small memories with you
To chase the darkness
Away so we can relax
Bathed in afternoon sunlight
The sadness of war
Contrasted with the simple
Yellow Warbler’s song
Bringing such melancholy
On an early Sunday morn
What pain is this friend
For so long our journey has
Been breathtakingly
Peaceful. Staisfactory?
I hardly know this wordplay
I ache for release
This claustrophobic drywall
Pinches my psyche
Did The Parthenon worry
That it, one day, would ruin?
It will be summer,
Before I see you again.
One full rotation.
Do you still have your smile lines?
Or have they turned to sorrow?
Two petals dancing
Swept up by cool Spring breeze
Such a sweet embrace
With a harsh reality
And ephemeral delight
