Autumn tones down its act,
preparing for
Winter’s somber show.

Navigational Intent
Starting where I am –
reactive in heart and mind –
I’ll actively say
yes (when I remember) and
mindfully move on from there.

Early November Magic
Sun waves its wand, turns
frosty mornings into warm
afternoon delight.

Poe Me
I thought that raven
croaked, “Nevermore.”, but he’s back
with even more to
say. If I spoke raven I’d
tell him to fly, fly away.

Cold Fare
Unimpressed by frost’s
cold kiss, deer gather for their
misty, morning meal.

Before First Light
I wrap myself in
silence and sit sipping my
just right cup of tea.
The day has not yet started.
I can catch up with myself.

Jimmy
A fine lad was Jimmy.
He relished every bite of food,
this dog of strong preferences,
but when Toby joined our pack,
he took his treasured dog biscuit
and dropped it at his feet.
Though disdainful of the great outdoors,
he gladly walked with Toby.
and once we even saw him bless
a bunny with some licks.
His bark was fierce,
but his heart was gentle
and gentle was his passing.
