Early morning mist,

both inside and out – hazy

 start to a new day,

JDG

The pond’s reflections

bring to mind some of  my own

including all the ripples

and distortions. It’s good to

discover I’m not alone.

JDG

Sun lies lazily 

upon a carpet of grass

as cardinals leisurely dine.

JDG

In order to beat

the traffic we left at six,

but apparently

so did everyone else.

Next time we’ll leave at noon.

JDG

Waiting to present

a talk on finding your voice,

I fear I’ve lost mine,

but I remember to breathe…

Then I recover mine.

JDG

Everyone wants to

be heard, but only a few

want to really listen.

JDG

Two old friends walk together.

Sometimes they speak,

sometimes not,

but they’re always connected.
