One step at a time
and I’m on the way, headed
toward where I want to go.

It Must Be In The Genes
I told the grandkids
it isn’t as easy to
take things in stride when
your gait is off. They
rolled their eyes and replied, “but
Gaba, you’re just as punny.”

Morning Mix
Sunlight and breeze,
stillness and motion,
ravens and robins,
thoughts and emotion –
a gentle commotion.

I have a living
notification system
that, with a series
of deafening barks, lets me
know when someone is outside.

A Peaceful Start
An albino fawn
on a solitary walk,
pauses for a bite
before slowly moving on
accompanied by bird song.

Multiple Points of View
So glad this house has
many windows connecting
me to the world out there
while I’m confined to bed or chair.

Serenity Interrupted
Under cloudless skies
cardinals, bluejays, woodpeckers,
crows, and ravens dined,
but, of course, they were soon joined
by their neighbors, the squirrels.

Solitary Confinement
Lassoed with “nos”, tied
up with “nots”, she was held
prisoner by her thoughts.

Come On, Guys
In the distance
multiple crows caw.
It’s awful early
for a brawl.

In The Night Sky
An unblue blue moon,
but bright and full nonetheless,
let its beauty shine.
