Come,
join me in a joyful flight.
put your chores and woes away,
for the moment soar and play.
Leave your troubles on the ground,
sip the nectar all around,
listen to the flowers sing.
Who knows what the morrow brings?

It’s

race

fall,
but
some
leaves.

Every now and then
a song reaches out and grabs us,
takes us to another time,
another place, and once again
we’re in a friend’s basement
rockin’ to “Let’s Go To The Hop”.
JDG
The dull roar of cars –
going somewhere,
going fast.
What if what we’re looking for
can be found within?
JDG
Knox keeps looking at me
trying to understand
why I never chase squirrels,
race around with a stick in my mouth
or enjoy rolling in wet grass.
JDG
Do you think trees question
their right to take root,
to branch out, to leaf,
to glisten in the sun,
to drop their leaves
when the days grow
short and cold?
Maybe we could learn
to question less.
Maybe we could learn
to live more like trees.
JDG
I surrender my day
into night’s waiting arms.
Together we sing
a tender song,
bidding my day goodnight.

If they could receive emails,
I’d send a joint one
to sun, moon, and stars
thanking them for their gift
of unsolicited light.
JDG
Walking as the rain
began. First a worm, then some
ants crossed our path. Hope
they will find some shelter soon
as Knox and I head for home.
JDG
When we hit a road block,
it can help to idle awhile
until we find the best way
to get to where we want to go.
