Where there’s willingness

there’s also a way, but not

our usual one.  

                                                              JDG

Looking for what I

recently lost – my glasses,

keys, temper, and mind.

                                                        JDG

When you cast your vote

Tuesday, examine your heart.

May your best self win.

                                                               JDG

If their focus is

only on winning, they will

have already lost.

That huge racket in

the woods was a small stream in

a great big hurry.

                                                                     JDG

I breathe in her choice

of loud, discordant music

and breathe out judgement.

                                                               JDG

Early morning fog

slows my drive, shifts my focus

from the fog inside.

                                                            JDG

Yearning for a patch

of open sky, that tree bent

’til it met its need.

                                                         JDG

Even though sometimes

her eyes filled with tears and her

voice shook, her courage shone through.

                                                                         JDG

It doesn’t take much,

just a splash of sun, and our

spirits are restored.
