The golden silence
of autumn trees
on a breezeless day
invites us to take
refuge in their leaves.

Morning Greeting?
Knox and the ladies line up by my bed
sighing deeply at my selfishness.
Here they are starving as I try
to catch a few more winks
of much needed sleep.

Take Heed
First dusting of frost –
an early proclamation
of what is to come.

Different Strokes…
What’s a walk without
a roll, Knox asks, as I stand
not a tad enthralled.

The Ultimate Source
Much ado about
nothing? You’ll have to direct
your questions to Knox
who’s been running around in
search of both sticks and answers.

Aerial Recalibration
Having second thoughts,
that hawk passed up a tasty
morsel from a strolling skunk.

Therapy Dog
Every day Knox finds
a different way to bring light
and laughter into our home.

Unexpected Finding
Seeking inspiration,
I poured through books
written by those said to be wise,
but today I found it
in a surprising burst of affection
for a small ant crossing my path.

After The Rain
The vast sky holds
streaks of pink
and clouds of gray.
What you see depends
on where you look.

Release
Wrapped in night’s silence,
warmed by the light of the moon,
we finally rest,
lulled to sleep by the presence
of softly lit emptiness.
