Puzzled,

he looked around

as if to ask,

“Why do I have the bird feeder

all to myself?”

                                                    JDG

May we tread lightly

on this good earth,

responding

with kind eyes

and helping hands.

                                JDG

In big winds

deep rooted trees sway

but seldom break.

May we learn

from these wise trees.

                                      JDG

 Bathed

in the warm wash

of kindness,

I know

how healing it can be.

                                    JDG

Out my way

cows and donkeys

graze in peace.

No fence or wall

separates them.

                           JDG

Imagination-

a life vest

for some,

a hornets’ nest

for others.

               JDG

If only

we humans

were as committed

to seeking the light

as are these trees…
