Scampering across

leaf-covered ground, squirrels halt

at the bird feeder

to  steal  their morning meal ere

scolding words can be spoken.

Golden leaves on tree

and ground welcome morning sun –

a colorful match

and an encouraging sign

of a golden renewal.

Not wanting to wake

Knox and the cats, I tiptoe

to the kitchen, but

they rally, give me a look,

and place their breakfast orders.

Though they’ll never meet,

sun and moon share the same sky

and shine on us all.

There’s no competition. Each

has its role. Each does its part.
