That raven spoke for
all the birds and made it clear
they expected seed
spread daily without delay.
Then, with a shake of his feathers,
he angrily flew away.

Except For The Squirrels
On these few acres
the wild and the tamed find
sanctuary and,
for the most part, are able
to live together in peace.

Keep The Faith
It’s a cover-up,
those clouds blocking the sun, but
things will come to light.

Carpe Diem
I tried to follow
that ancient wisdom and when
the rain paused, I took
Knox for a walk but sadly
he dallied and we got wet.

Positive Pairing
Hope joined with action
is what makes a difference.
In good times and bad,
things are more likely to be
successful when we have both.

Upon Awakening
I’ll take a hint from
the morning stillness.
The loud winds of busyness
will begin soon enough.

Poor, Pitiful Squirrel
I think he wants to
join us inside as he keeps
coming to the door..
After all, it is drizzling
outside and pretty hot too.

Ever Present
Sometimes the world shouts
its wonders. Sometimes it just
softly whispers them.

The Enormity Of Small
It’s the small things – birds
at the feeder, a wagging
tail when I come home,
shimmering light on the pond,
all these and so many more –
ground and comfort me.

Moving Along
Misty memories
of a much younger me
riding my first bike
with a bit of a wobble
and then later with no hands.
