May’s stance sways between
April’s coolness and the warmth
of June. Today she
embraced April’s chilly ways;
Sunday she warmed up to June.

If we’re feeling lost
and at sea, it helps if we
relax, lean back, float
a bit until we’re either
found or find a way to shore.

Endlessly snacking
on food and information
will not ease our souls’
hunger. Our souls require
something far more substantial.

Knox ignores the sweet
scent of honeysuckle to
attend to other
scents on the ground. Some delights
we share and some we do not.

Fallen branches cleared,
plants watered, birds fed, dog walked –
now with a sigh of
satisfaction, I lean back,
grateful for both work and rest.

No use mowing down
those rebellious buttercups.
They’ll just rise again,
strong and always resilient,
to claim their place on the lawn.

Knoxaroni helps
me see the magic I would
otherwise have missed –
a lost glove, tattered but found,
roots protruding from the ground.

“Who? Who? Who?” and crows,
cardinals, doves, and bluejays say

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.
