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
