My Places

My place is on the couch,

glass of merlot in hand,

ready for the catharsis

of a Lifetime movie

_____________________________

My place is in the voting booth

the paper ballot in the slot,

my tiny voice a part

of the process

_______________________________

My place is behind the lens

focusing close,

on birds and bugs,

as the purple morning glory climbs nearby

__________________________________

My place is on the path,

each step bringing

wonder and wisdom,

moving forward in life

______________________________

My best place is beside you,

both in our porch chairs,

coffee cups empty,

reminiscing and planning
