I rose early to

see the day’s opening act.

For a brief moment

sun and moon shared the stage til

the moon left and joined the stars.

JDG

Midway through the day

the sun and the clouds  came to

an understanding 

and agreed to alternate

their prominence from above.

JDG

There are no fixes,

quick or otherwise, for this

broken world of ours,

but we can mend what we can,

and try not to break the rest.

JDG

When our minds begin

an internal audit with

a list of all our

flaws and failures, let’s balance

the account with our assets.

JDG

The irises wave

hello to the rain, The day’s

off to a good start.

Knox hesitates at the door.

A good start? He’s not so sure.

JDG

Though I sometimes feel

separate and alone, it just

 takes a furry paw

rubbing against my leg to

show me my misconception.

JDG

Watching Knox survey

his kingdom as he slowly

strolls through grass covered

with morning dew, I give thanks

for this place we both call home.

JDG

 Two cardinals, one bright

red, the other a bit dull,

fly to the bird feeder

where they find a morsel of food

 and a bit of romance.

JDG

There’s no need to read

between the lines. Knox does not

hesitate. He tells

it straight and is dismayed when

I understand but say no.

JDG

Saturday at last

but why did I think I could 

linger in bed, start 

the day slow when cats and Knox

clearly had another plan?
