Thirsty bushes, plants,
and trees greet the long-awaited

When our hearts and minds
disagree, it helps if we
can find a way for
both of them to open up
and try to hear each other.
JDG
In between moments
are difficult
for our impatient selves,
but if we use them
for honest observation
and gentle reflection,
they might tell us
what we need to know.
JDG
Many assumptions.
Few questions..
Little understanding.
Broken connection.

A burst of purple
blooms insured our morning walk
wouldn’t be a bust.

In my rush I can
fail to see the beseeching
eyes of Knox. He then
throws in a few pitiful
moans and, if all else fails, barks.
JDG
In his endless quest
for squirrels, Knox stumbled upon
a hive of bees
and quickly fled the scene.
Sometimes in our search for fun
we end up getting stung.
JDG
It seems like just yesterday
he scattered rose petals
at her feet. Today she
scattered them on his grave.
JDG
I have a living alarm clock.
If the cats can’t rally me,
Knox will join them
with his early morning moans.
There’s no snooze button
for this three alarm wake-up machine,
and so I arise and my day begins.
