Song birds herald 

the end of rain,

the spread of birdseed., 

the start of day.

Through the window

the cats watch 

but don’t join in.

Worked all day on my taxes.

Felt I deserved a reward.

Knox brings me a stick…

I respectfully decline..

JDG

Ever so gently

the wind blows today making

up for its former harshness.

JDG

Talking with some folks

is like being on a flight

with no clue if,

when, or where they’ll  land.

JDG

Big bird brawl.

Wings flapped.

Seed scattered.

Loud caws.

JDG

With wordless wonder

I watch as Spring unfurls its

wordless message of renewal.

JDG

Mother night

slowly tiptoed in,

 wrapping earth and sky

in a comforting blanket.

JSG

I’m done with all this doing!

I’ll set aside those endless

chores and give

my hands and mind a rest.

I’ll  step into the Sabbath sun

and loiter ’til  I’m finally done.
