So many chances

to learn, yet so few of them

are ever taken.

May we be guided

by love and reason as we

traverse these dark times.

                                                     JDG

Turning blind eyes to

unpleasant truths results in

a loss of vision.

Nothing witty or

profound was said, but at lunch

both our souls were fed.

Not singing in rain

on this cold December day.

I’ll try in July.

A Thanksgiving Day

where we all had our say 

and we’re still speaking.

                                  JDG

Gloom of overcast

days can slowly seep into

unsuspecting hearts.

                                               JDG

Looking for the key

to happiness, she failed to

see its open door.

                                                   JDG

Sometimes I wonder

why I try. The sky doesn’t,

yet it holds so much.

Hyperconnected

but strangely disconnected – 

modern paradox
