Cardinals rest on snow
covered branches unaware
of the pleasure they bring.

First to come, last to leave,
the bluejays feed.
rivaled only by the squirrels,
both unconcerned
about wearing out their welcome.

,
Sometimes my body is here,
but my heart is not.
Sometimes my body is here,
but my mind is not.
Moments, days, weeks, and more.
find me not fully here.
But…
sometimes a satisfying fullness comes
and body, mind, and heart are one.

As near as I know,
evergreens don’t judge trees
whose leaves turn red
before they fall, nor do they
look askance when they rebud in Spring.
They have no need.
Rooted in themselves, they simply grow.

Pink and blue dance
in Sunday morning sky show.
Knox and I watch as the sun
slowly rises in approval.
JDG
As the sun slowly
climbs over the horizon,
Knox invites me to
leap into this perfect
squirrel chasing day.
JDG
Comforting smell of woodsmoke,
golden light of rising sun –
assurance of warmth
on this cold day.
JDG
Low hanging mist –
shimmering divide
between earth and sky.

The crows have their own
way of singing in the rain
and it’s music to their ears.
JDG
Under a pink tinged sky,
Knox romps. Now that the rain
has stopped, he can better
save his precious sticks
from his enemies, the squirrels.
