When darkness descends

we must try even harder

to call forth the light.

The limits of form

expand my view, force me to

climb outside the box.

                                                                              JDG

Confined to fear-locked,

windowless rooms, we can’t see

what might set us free.

                                                                                            JDG

This stretch of road, I

travel alone, yet always

I know you are there.

                                                                           JDG

When we can’t force or

flee, we’re very grateful for

serendipity.

How does it go – as

above so below? Dark clouds

interspersed with light.

In one simple phrase

Jeb spoke volumes, letting us

know where his heart lies.

                                                                           JDG

Insist and resist –

life strategies learned at two,

still too often used

When kids and grandkids

are poets, you know things will

go from bad to verse.

                                                                              JDG

After a day filled

with “if only”, I slowly

shift to “Ok. This.”
