Rain is forecast for later today, but
it’s not here now.
Now the birds
feed as
the
pale
grey sky
waits for the
right moment to
shower earth with an outpouring of gifts.

Though I’m old and it
is cold, seeing winter grass
glisten in morning
light stirs something warm and young
in me and I glisten too.

It’s been quite a mix.
Some days are easy; some are
hard, but in the end
I’m always pleased if I took
some time to exercise.

I never tire
of these undulating hills.
On good days and bad
they lift me up and carry
me to a more grounded home.

Yesterday I slacked,
but today I’m back on track.
Though I waver, I’m not a complete caver.
JDG
Today’s to-do list includes taxes, bills,
poetry, and
finding time
just to
be.

Yesterday I took
a brief break, but now I’m back
for fitness’s sake.
JDG
What if it turns out
we are an anomaly –
an untenable answer
to nature’s evolutionary question?

Foreseeing a busy day,
I did my exercises first
and surprised even me.
