In these crazy times

we long for tales of good hearts

and coherent minds.

                                                                      JDG

Motor running, mind

racing twenty-four seven.

No wonder we stall.

                                                        JDG

When we honor our

interdependence, we claim

self-evident truth.

                                                       JDG

Amidst the chaos

of moving, spirit and soul 

are fed by caring friends.

                                                          JDG

Don’t let those small drops

of rain ruin a day filled

with bursts of sunshine.

                                                               JDG

It’s often the course

I didn’t choose that taught me

far more than I sought.

                                                              JDG

All this sorting out

 has left me out of sorts.

This? That? Why? How?… Pow!

                                                                 JDG

As the temperature

creeps toward ninety, we start to

creep toward air conditioned caves.

                                                                           JDG

How many roads

must a man walk down before

 he calls for a cab?

                                                       JDG

Flash flood of words –

love and compassion caught in

fierce rip current.

                                                               JDG
