Nature sings songs

of green,

of flowerings,

and for a moment,

I sing too.

                                  JDG

Ever wonder what the trees

are up to at night?

The day ended with green buds,

opened with bursts of white.

                                                         JDG

We have an unexpected

gift of time.

Let’s use it creatively.

Let’s not squander it

on unproductive worry

or finger-pointing blame.

                                           JDG

Catch myself wondering what’s next.

Shift my focus

to that cherry tree,

limbs outstretched,

offering pink blessings

to the sky, to the wonder

that is now.
