Eye Of The Beholder

In supplication

or praise, trees raise outstretched limbs

and speak of winter.

Food For Thought

Even though she was the only waitress

in a quickly filling room,

she moved among us

calm and unhurried,

took careful note of each request,

and with a quiet happiness,

brought each of us our choice.

I left the restaurant

as much nourished by her presence

as by my meal.

Day 108 – Why Hesitate?

On day one hundred eight

 there’s little debate.

 I’ll get my exercising in

before it’s too late.

If At First…

I turn to the grouch who lives inside me

and sprinkle her

with fairy

dust. I

don’t

know 

why, but

that makes things

worse. I guess I’ll

try offering her these French fries instead.

Answer To An Unspoken Prayer

Sometimes an answer

comes before a request is

even made – like when

I didn’t know where to turn

and suddenly you were there.
