The early morning
is filled with song as the birds
greet the rising sun.
They too must be glad to feel
the warmth of its golden light.

A Little Dab Will Do You
A splash of sunlight
at day’s end ignites the trees
and our rain soaked souls.

Sacred Moment
The sight of several deer,
heads bowed, quietly grazing,
ends a busy day on a restful note.
I bow my head too.

Time Well Spent
Two hours at the dog park
brings Knox
a joyous romp with friends
and me
an evening of peace.

Wee Hero Spots My White Hair
“Your hair’s all snowy,”
the little boy said.
“You must be cold.
You can wear my hat.”

Winter Whiteout
Waiting,
wondering
when this
whiteness
will melt away.

February Flummox
Sunny skies greet us.
Who would ever think big storms
are headed our way?

A Matter Of Priorities
Fallen branches,
melting snow –
post storm
cleanup begins.
Birds ask to be fed first.

Renewed Understanding
In the midst
of all this snow and ice,
I understand more than ever
the wisdom of
letting sleeping dogs lie.

Night
Night didn’t fall.
It slowly crept upon me,
rubbing its soft darkness
against my busyness.
