Against a blue sky
Cardinals sit perched
on a white blossomed tree
bidding farewell to February,
welcoming the approach of Spring.

Though storms
may be on the horizon,
they’re not here now.
Let’s relish this moment
and hold space for the next.

“I’ll take the morning.
You can have the afternoon,”
Winter said to Spring.
JDG
The sun, it seemed,
gave me a wink.
“Don’t let this day’s cold
get you down.
It’s winter’s last hurrah.”
JDG
Daffodils trumpet
the ultimate triumph of
Spring as snow drifts down.
JDG
So many chances
to learn, yet so few of them
are ever taken.
JDG
So often
we look outside
when what we’re looking for
goes unnoticed
within.
JDG
How different
it feels
to be present
without
an agenda.
JDG
Learning
to be patient
with my own impatience,
moment by
excruciating moment.
JDG
His cupcake grin
belied
he felt like
knives and needles
inside.
