Even The Sky

Here in Virginia

this Wednesday morning, even

the sky is crying.

Comings and Goings

As the trees stand watch

sun and moon rise and fall,

crows squawk, jays squabble,

dark clouds gather then disperse,

hawks soar, rabbits hide,

squirrels gather, the pond reflects.

Trees and pond have much to teach.

November Surprise

This year the blaze of Autumn soon flamed out,

making me think

the climate

must be

rigged.

Beyond Expectation

I had hoped for deep

wisdom or at least some peace

when I first began

to meditate, but that’s not

what I got. Instead

there was a quick review of

failures, foolishness,

and flaws. When I signed on I

didn’t expect to

start with all those F’s. “Isdom”,

 is that where true wisdom starts?

Fresh Start

After the rain, 

just before the break of day,

there’s a quickening

among the trees.

Dawn is approaching.

They will enter the light refreshed.

Strategic Planning

You could almost see

the wheels of their minds turning

as Thanksgiving neared

and they searched for a way 

to politely vote no

 regarding Gaba’s green bean casserole.

License Plate Commentary

WHOOPTDO, it said.

Was this snark just a comment

on the general state

of things or a bored response

to this heated election?
