After years of estrangement,
body and mind are now
working together
with a heartfelt purpose in mind.

Breaking waves greet
clouds overhead
whispering softly,
“We’re in this together.”

The waves’ rhythmic beat
upon the sandy shore
washes away the tension
from the weeks before.

After surveying the land,
Knox failed to see
enough sticks to keep
his stick throwers busy.
Off he went on
his stick finding quest
and now our yard
is one big mess,
but neighbors’ yards
are now stick free.

If life is a circus,
right now I can’t decide
if my job is to tame the lions of emotion,
become a trapeze artist,
or sit back and enjoy the show.
Perhaps the task is to blend all three.

Two contented cats
rest on my bed, their purrs
lulling me to sleep.
JDG
Same old song and dance
daily at the bird feeder.
Same old smiles from me too.

Wrapping yourself in
a crazy patchwork quilt of
pets, family and friends.

A colorful note,
delivered to my doorstep –
cardinal’s sweet gift
on this cold, dreary day.

Though the cats and I watch
as the birds come and go,
so focused are they
on the seed laid before them,
they refuse to give us
the time of day.
