Decided to walk

and read the land and sky. I’ll

read the newspaper later.

Rooster crows over

rising sun. He must think

he did it all by himself.

JDG

Rain soaked tree branches

bend toward the ground…soon the sun

 will dry them off, lift them up.

JDG

Contrary to what 

we so often hear, sometimes

never is better than late.

JDG

Old but not defunct –

my dishwasher and I share

the same condition.

JDG

After today’s rain

a scattering of tiny

white petals imitates snow.

JDG

In the Spring rain birds

come to the feeder and sing,

not for their breakfast…for joy.

JDG

I swept the porch, but

later a tiny bird came

to help with some fallen seed.

JDG

My burdened mind moved

 in rhythm with my steady

breath and finally let things go.
