Morning winds foretell

a day of icy chill as

the sun defiantly shines.

JDG

Saying yes to no

when the workload overflows –

the best way to go.

JDG

Old wounds still remain.

but now it’s our defenses

that cause us the pain.

JDG

Teachers surround us.

If we would stop and listen,

there’s much to be learned.

JDG

Corn’s been harvested.

Cut stalks on the ground remain.

They’re times when I feel the same.

JDG

Full moon shimmers through

clouds, reminding us the stars,

though hidden, are there.

JDG

I don’t know if you’ve

ever been scolded by crows,

but they waste no caws.

JDG

Rushing to do good,

we focus on arrival

rather than the path.

JDG

Like plants we need both

 weeding and pruning if we’re

 to keep on growing.

JDG

Uneventful days

are days I’ve come to treasure

with each passing year.
