A day that began

with rain turned sunny by noon,

nature’s enactment

of a potentially reassuring truth.

JDG

With a simple movement

of the tongue,

the sweet sound of silence

disappeared and in its place

inanity twittered.

JDG

The empty road called out,

asking to be

the one more traveled by

It glistened in the sun

when the young boy

jumped on his bike, 

making it the chosen one.

JDG

Awake before sunrise,

I begin my morning chores

to the sweet sound of silence,

the day’s cacophony yet to begin.

JDG

This aging business

can be tough, but

with several ungentle

reminders I’m learning

to mind my own business.
