After so many

learning opportunities,

I should be a genius by now.

After a winter rest,

the dandelions decide

it’s time to rise and shine.

JDG

As night starts to fall,

like many other creatures,

I return home to my nest.

JDG

Just sitting with the wonder

that anything at all, including me,

is here at this very moment

on this small planet, a mere dot

in the universe we call home.

JDG

A bright light begins

to rise over a darkened

horizon marking

the start of a new day.

JDG

They’re going out 

in a blaze of color

as they add

a touch of fire

to this cool and rainy weather.

JDG

Sometimes it seems like

we’re living, empty and alone,

in a never-ending void

and only later do we learn

how fertile it was.
