I pause, I listen.
Is that the quiet approach
of wisdom I hear?
Uh, nope. It’s just that endless,
mental prattle that resides here.

In Passing
A flying line of
winter snowbirds, departing
for a warmer clime,
give an airborne salute to
us grounded ones left behind.

Out Here
Out here where there are more trees
than people, out here where the pond reflects
the changing currents of seasons and days,
out here where the news is shared by barking dogs,
cawing crows, and cooing mourning doves,
out here where I can let my petty concerns fall away,
out here, I awaken, I look, I listen, I love.

Quick Change
The day slipped out of
its grey overcoat and donned
a golden sweater.

Weighty Matters
Trying to strike a bargain with myself.
What if for every five pounds lost,
I gained one brand new book?
That should keep both my library
and weight in check.

Tech Gen
If left to their own devices, they would
ignore us and
remain on
them all
day.

You Turn
Where there’s willingness
there’s also a way, but not
our usual one.
