When the noise dies down
and what’s left is the silence,
I open myself,
tentatively at first, then
with slowly growing ease,
to whatever has been waiting
to finally be heard.

Rainy Days And Mondays
New green brings a bright
touch to Monday’s rain-soaked scene
and chases the gray away.

Splendor In The Grass
Infrequent mowing
lets gold shine forth and purple
have its day in the sun.

Quite A Howl
After joining in
with other howling dogs on
DOGTV, Knox looked
at me as if to say, don’t
be so glum; it’s all in fun.

be outdone by Earth’s spring blooms,
accessorized with pink.

Weather Report
Sunny day, slow start –
let’s treasure this moment of
peaceful Spring pleasure
and leave our predictions of
dark clouds and hurry behind.

The Times They Are A Changin
I remember myself,
as a kid, feeling bored and restless
when there was nothing to do.
Now, at seventy nine,
I feel grateful and content
when there’s nothing to do.

Doesn’t Everyone?
Sometimes I ache.
It’s part of being me.
Doesn’t everyone?
Sometimes I fear
that which I can not control.
Doesn’t everyone?
Sometimes my pain and fear
drive me to unwise actions.
Doesn’t everyone’s?
Sometimes I regret
the consequences of those acts.
Doesn’t everyone?
Sometimes I hope
I can be a better soul.
Doesn’t everyone?
Sometimes I pray
for a divine guiding hand.
Doesn’t everyone?
Sometimes I love.
Doesn’t everyone?
Doesn’t everyone?
