Today I offered

my worries to the clouds above.

Sadly, they declined.

JDG

 Mind and body took

 a walk this morning and mind

  wouldn’t stop talking.

JDG

Congregation of

crows gathered on the porch rail,

worshipping birdseed.

JDG

Busy brain, why don’t

you take a break and let me

simply watch the birds?

JDG

On ground and in trees

those black robed visitors hold

a raucous caw cus.

JDG

No breeze is stirring.

Is Nature holding its breath

anticipating the snow?

JDG

Maybe she thought if

she wore those glasses, she could

see behind her back.

JDG

Weighing my options,

wanting to get it right, but

can’t see the future.

JDG

When days are crowded

with things to do, we need to

take time to just be.

JDG

I can’t feel poor when

there’s this scattering of gold –

Autumn’s yearly gift.
