On these winter days,

when the sun sails past

the clouds and splashes us

with golden light

we shiver…not from the cold,

but from delight.

JDG

We heard

the same words

from the same mouth

at the same time,

but we walked away

with very different feelings.

JDG

If only they would listen,

they might learn something.

If only we would listen,

we might learn something,

We’re all so busy pouring forth,

we take little in.

What if when the final silence nears

all we  hear

is the sound of our own voice?

JDG

Moonlight kisses

partially frozen pond…

I smile and say goodnight.

JDG

That small deer came

up to the house and Knox

bounded out to greet him…

Sadly, his mother

wouldn’t let him stay.

JDG

No deep thoughts

or profound revelations,

just the simple pleasure

of watching the steady

fall of snow.

JDG

They came without my asking,

those small winged creatures,

bringing comfort, removing gloom.
