” 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.

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.

After The Storm
Somewhere
over the shamebow
lies a pile of shattered dreams.
Everything changes
once light breaks through
and an arch of colors comes.

Before Acceptance
Before acceptance –
noticing,
breathing deep,
opening
to whatever’s here,
noticing,
breathing deep,
opening
to whatever’s here,
noticing,
breathing deep,
opening

As Sure As Breath
Unknowns,
great and small,
accompany us
throughout our day.
Still,
we reach for
certainties,
however brief.

Juniper’s Gem
Water droplets hang
from sun-lit juniper trees

Nice Try
After days of rain
and hearing my complaints, she
said,” Why not think of
rain as living water?” For
a moment that worked,
but soon I wished it would move
on and go live somewhere else.

so close – people and places
