Peach colored skies
announce the sun’s near arrival.
Knox and I walk,
hoping its visit will last.

Aging Games
As I get older words and I play
hide and seek nearly every day.
They’ve become so good at hiding
I’m relieved when at last they’re found.

Another Opportunity To Practice
Walking with Knox
on this drizzly fall morning,
trying to be patient
as he gives each and every leaf
a very thorough sniff.

Song of the Night Bird
Reblogged this post from my son.
Faith is a small bird
singing bravely in the dark
heralding the Dawn.
Seasons’ Gifts
Autumn showers us with leaves of gold,
Spring with forsythia and daffodils,
Summer with stunning sunflowers.
Winter, too, brings many gifts,
but dog pee on pristine snow
is not the gold I’m looking for.

Home Gardening
Like plants we need both
weeding and pruning if we’re
to keep on growing.

Hidden Richness
Uneventful days
are days I’ve come to treasure
with each passing year.

Autumn Perfection
Sunny afternoon,
golden moments with friends as
Knox searches for sticks.

Come
The golden silence
of autumn trees
on a breezeless day
invites us to take
refuge in their leaves.

Morning Greeting?
Knox and the ladies line up by my bed
sighing deeply at my selfishness.
Here they are starving as I try
to catch a few more winks
of much needed sleep.
