An unexpected
gift of time allows me to
begin the day more
slowly, to linger with doves,
cardinals, and jays as they dine.

Sunny, but windy
and a bit cold.
Let’s play down
windy and cold
and amplify sunny.

Forsythia’s joy
can’t be quenched, not even by
this sudden downpour.
Its golden branches greet all
that comes with a welcoming wave.

When tensions flare,
what if
we looked for
the divine
that’s also there?

Dark tree branches etched
against evening’s scarlet sky –
beauty at day’s end.

Moonlight falls
on porch
and lawn,
covering them
with momentary,
look-alike snow.

those birds who come
to the feeder well past noon,
or are they simply passersby
grabbing a bite on the fly?

After listening
to complaints about the rain,
Nature offered sun and heat.

Amidst this field of
purple clover, I bow to
a royal presence.

Every new toy is
mouth tested to see if it
makes the final cut.
So far every toy that does
is slowly disassembled.
