Thought she was a goner,
but Summer came back,
causing Fall to flee.
The next thing you know,
fallen leaves might decide
to reattach to trees.

To Each Their Own
On this, our last walk of the day,
I greet the slowly rising moon
and welcome each star
as Knox enthusiastically
sniffs everything along the way.

At Day’s Close
The sun sings bright notes
and is joined by the moon in
a duet of opposites.

Fall Comes To Virginia
Today there was a bite in the air,
well, more like a nibble,
but I am so grateful
I won’t quibble.

Stepping Out With Knox
Just when I thought
we were stepping in harmony,
a squirrel scampered by
and my thoughts and I
were left in the dust.
JDG
A Tender Sight
Just for a moment
the slowly moving clouds blushed
pink at night’s approach.

Knox Knocks
I don’t know if Knox
grows worried every time
I sit, eyes closed, and meditate,
but he does come over,
gives me a nudge, some licks,
and if all else fails,
drops toys at my feet.
JDG
Easy Does It
Foggy beginning
but a clear, sunny ending
to a slow paced day.

Knox’s Nightly Reflection
Every night Knox goes
to the sliding glass door, spots
the same old dog who
grows and changes just as he
does, barks and invites him in.

In This Uncertain Time
In this uncertain time
between what was and what will be,
emotions of a darker kind
spread like the virus that brought us here.
Faith, hope, and love are tested,
but they’re what we need to see us through.
