Softly the night falls
and wraps us in a blanket
of silence and peace
until a neighbor’s dog howls
at a nonexistent moon.

Oh, Look
On this rainy day
goldenrod reminds us there
can be gold among the gray

As the rain pauses.
there’s a sudden downpour of
birds at the feeder.

Each of us is but a dot
in an ever expanding picture,
and each dot matters.

Early Arrivals
Before I even
got out of bed, there they stood,
lined up and waiting,
all in a flutter,
shocked that it was taking so long
for their morning meal to be spread.

Carried away by
a slow moving breeze, that leaf
danced to its own tune.

Unsought Opportunity
Sometimes we’re ready
but the circumstances aren’t
and we find ourselves
with yet another chance to
learn the fine art of patience.

Fuming
The only smoke
that beeping smoke detector
detected was. the smoke
coming from my ears
as we struggled
to replace its batteries.
