Among the landscape
filled with glittering
patches of snow,
the stench of skunk lingers.
Life is a mixed bag.

We avoided
high opera,
my sister and I,
and parted
on an even note.

A cup of coffee
on a cold
and rainy day –
a simple pleasure
can keep the blues at bay.

Letting go
may take a while,
but I’m stretching
myself toward
a deep release.

Composing a poem
on my drive home
silences that inner voice
yammering on about
what I did or didn’t do.

Most roads aren’t
straight for long, but
it’s in the curves
that skills are tested
and beauty can be found.

Grey mist of morning
rests on the land,
exploring
the heavens
without leaving home.

Sometimes,
like a tree in winter,
we’re stripped bare
in preparation
for a fresh start.
JDG
Sun-lit day, cloudless sky –
nature’s reminder
that nothing, not even
the darkest of times
lasts forever.

Dogs frolic
at the dog park
as owners
discuss disturbing
Washington news.
