Peering through a crack

in the sidewalk, a tiny

blue flower surveys the world.

JDG

Unexpected small

discoveries can bring smiles

to tightly clenched lips.

JDG

Rain drops gently fall

from pillows of gray clouds as

the sun stays hidden.

JDG

Joy, dressed in red, paused

at the bird feeder and fed

both itself and me.

JDG

Frost covered ground greets

rising sun with twinkling eyes

 and open embrace.

JDG

Branches wave hello

to the rising sun, goodbye

to descending moon.

JDG

A star, reluctant

to say goodbye, still lingers

in the morning sky.

JDG

Gently falling rain

kisses the open lips of

late summer’s waiting flowers.

JDG

Birds sip and splash

in their adopted fountain,

glad it’s fixed at last.

JDG

Sunday stillness slides

gently inside and softly

rests for a moment.
