Knoxaroni helps

me see the magic I would

otherwise have missed –

a lost glove, tattered but found,

roots protruding from the ground.

Day breaks free from night

as those owls keep questioning

“Who? Who? Who?” and crows,

cardinals, doves, and bluejays say

it really doesn’t matter.

On my way to work,

the car isn’t my only

transport. The vibrant

shades of green transport me too

and I arrive vitalized.

JDG

I’ll never tire 

of those golden moments when

I somehow manage

to silently smile at

life’s little bleeps and not screech.

Today Spring kindly

prepared us for Summer with

sunny skies and just

a slight breeze as temperatures

hovered at ninety degrees.

JDG

After joining in

with other howling dogs on

DOGTV, Knox looked

at me as if to say, don’t

be so glum; it’s all in fun.

JDG

Sunny day, slow start –

let’s treasure this moment of

peaceful Spring pleasure

and leave our predictions of

dark clouds and hurry behind.

When they pried open

the suet cage, the crows found,

much to their dismay, 

they couldn’t grab the whole cake

and go on their merry way.

JDG

I pause my efforts,

notice my breath, feel my heart.

There’s no need to rush,

no need to push. It’s time now

to stop trying and allow.

JDG

Raven nodded his

approval as he surveyed 

the feast laid before

him, though he would have preferred 

no interfering squirrels.
