Just as too much light
on rain-soaked roads can make it
hard to see, too much
thought can divert heart’s mission
as we walk grief’s sodden path.

The Tumultuous Life Of Trees
Just last week they were
decked out in golden garb,
but now their bare limbs
shiver as fall fades into
the cold and dark of winter.

A Cup Of Contentment
Cloud of frothed milk atop morning coffee –
simple pleasure –
I’m off to
a good
start.

Blessed Detour
Circumstances forced
her to take an unchosen
path where she found what
she wasn’t looking for and
discovered it was herself.

High Aspirations
May we become
that to which we aspire –
one nation, under God,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

A Cricket Speaks
A tiny cricket
came calling today, perhaps
to complain about
the changing weather, maybe
to ask us to do better.

The Hallow-Cane by Janie Wilson
Intersection
A bit of blue peeks through
a sky covered
with slow-moving clouds
of dingy white and gray.
I catch a glimpse
of what lies beyond,
a constancy
that will see me through.

A Natural Nudge
Caught in an inner storm,
I almost didn’t see
the sun’s scattering of gold
among the swaying trees –
nature’s shimmering reminder
that there’s more to life than me.
