Time Alone

I sit alone, outside on the deck
No moon or stars
to give light
this night
All is quiet except
crickets making
their cricket sound, a
single engine boat
trolling across the lake,
and a  dog barking
somewhere in the
distance.  I pray my
rosary , then sip a beer.
I contemplate
my place and space,
and wonder God's purpose
for my life, and hope I've
made a difference.
