When the storms of hate rage all around us,

let us seek out

goodness and

act from

there.

After first frost, a suggestion of gold –

Autumn whispers

we are in

for a

change.

                                                                           JDG

Though we can never know the whole story,

it still matters

that we give

it a

try.

                                                                             JDG

Inexplicable love that includes and

transcends – always

 present, but

seldom

seen.

                                                               JDG

Before, beyond, between words lies silence –

the sound poets

listen for

and write

from.

                                                                   JDG

At day’s end I rest, knowing my efforts

 weren’t perfect, but

I did what

I could

do.

                                                                      JDG

A bite of poetry, a sip of song –

relaxing to

a rhythm

of sweet

bliss.
