Some trees hint of green.
Others bide their time.
After all, it’s not a race.
Everything moves
at its own pace.

with a warm and misty kiss
foreshadowing Spring.

The Sky’s Not The Limit
A drama plays out overhead:
two hawks locked
in an aerial battle.
With a sky so vast,
it must be turf they’re fighting for.

Early Indicators
Driving home late one night
sixteen years ago,
two grandkids in the back seat,
we rounded a curve and before us
lay a valley dotted with lights.
Kodi, age 6, gasped and said,
“It looks like a whole bunch of angels.’
A few seconds passed,
then Sami, age 4, said,
“From over here it looks like
a whole bunch of car lights.”

A Warm Welcome
The early morning
is filled with song as the birds
greet the rising sun.
They too must be glad to feel
the warmth of its golden light.

A Little Dab Will Do You
A splash of sunlight
at day’s end ignites the trees
and our rain soaked souls.

Sacred Moment
The sight of several deer,
heads bowed, quietly grazing,
ends a busy day on a restful note.
I bow my head too.

Time Well Spent
Two hours at the dog park
brings Knox
a joyous romp with friends
and me
an evening of peace.

Wee Hero Spots My White Hair
“Your hair’s all snowy,”
the little boy said.
“You must be cold.
You can wear my hat.”
