Mechanical Difficulties

“Are you pulled over

because of mechanical

difficulties with

your car or with your poem?”

my grandson asked as

he drove past. “I can turn

around and help you

with the one, but the other

 you’ll just have to muddle through.”

Call Of Summer

blackberry bushes,

honeysuckle, and daisies

beam – summer beckons

Those Questions

If only it stopped

with “to be or not to be?”

and we weren’t called to 

ask additional questions,

those hard ones like how and why.

On Second Glance

It turns out the man

in the moon is actually

a stunning lady.

Full And Content

As the sun begins

to set, she surveys the day

and declares it good,

this granddaughter of mine. Full

and content, she takes her rest.

Wind Tossed

A wind tossed Sabbath

reminds us that spirit moves

when and as it will.

And What To Our Wondering Eyes…

” What’s that strange yellow

thing high in the sky?” he asked

after endless days

of grey. We rushed out the door.

There it was – bright, shining sun.

In the presence of

others, each works quietly

on her own soul’s task.

Sharp Turn

They circle around,

those turkey buzzards. Are they

waiting for their flock 

to be complete? One lies on

the road, hit by  a

passing car. Just yesterday

they sat together

after dining at road’s edge.

One day. One car. Lasting change.

The Birds And I

Birds and I awake

to another overcast

morn. They usher in

the day with song while I chime

in with assorted grumbles.
