Riding the seesaw
of this December’s changing
weather is no child’s play.

Who’s The Problem?
I was lost in thought,
solving life’s problems;
Knox was present in the now
when a deer suddenly leapt forth.
Knox was instantly in fast pursuit
and I, snatched from my thoughts,
entered the present moment
and began my slow pursuit of
an immediate life problem:
wayward Knox and the fleeing deer.

Necessary Retreat
Granddaughters at play
in the living room loudly
proclaim.”Peace on earth!”
and seeking that very peace,
I depart to my bedroom.

In The Dark Of Night
The stars and moon greet
all of us here below with
messages of light.

Prelude In A Minor Key
Knox, the cats, and I
nod off on this warm
winter afternoon, content,
all preparations complete.
Later the house will fill
with folks and festivities again,
but for now there’s just the sweet
companionship of each other and sleep.

Pre Celebration Ease
Quietly waiting for
guests to arrive.
Christmas music playing.
Birds at the feeder.
A sweet moment of
relaxation and peace.

Like Mary’s Little Lamb
Knox tried to follow
some kids to school today
which is against the rules.
It didn’t make me laugh and play
which left his plans in disarray.

Who Knows?
Maybe she thought if
she wore those glasses, she could
see behind her back.

Seeing Things
When out on a walk
you start to see things like this
sad faced dog that lost his bark..

Heartland
Today, thanks to friends,
I leapt over a growing mountain
of blah and found joy
waiting on the other side.
