Joint Offering

 

 

On the dirt road,

gravel ground down,

leaves pressed by passing tires,

part of a montage

composed by cars and trees.

Birthday Reflection

 Seventy seven

years on this planet and I

still haven’t figured

 out what it’s all about… and

there’s no use asking Alfie.

Ill Prepared

Nobody ever told me

I should go to magician school,

but I wish they had because,

like so many of us,

I’m asked to work magic

and produce whatever is needed

out of thin air.

We Travelers

That deer and I exchanged a look.

“Who is the visitor here,” 

we asked, “you or I?”

The rising sun and setting moon

shine their light on both of us

and continue on their cosmic way.

Bountiful Morning

Early this morning,

before the birds began to call,

I sprinkled their food

on the broad porch rail.

One by one they came –

a feast for them and for my eyes.

It’s A Stretch

It’s a stretch of limbs

and a semi-rigid mind,

but I slowly find

a more limber way to be –

an exercise in delight.

Environment Of Change

So grateful Greta

and others do not err on

the side of caution.

What will become of us if

no one speaks truth to power?

Highlights

Juniper branches

hold scattered raindrops,

adding a bit of

sparkle to an otherwise

dismal December day.
