when spring frost arrives

when spring frost arrives,
icy last breath of white death,
guard your garden buds

white hair, rimmed glasses
the young old lady floors it
in her red MG

learning to know God

learning to know God

begins with learning to love:

start & finish there.

a cardinal sings

outside our window
as Winter kneels before Spring
a cardinal sings

secret kindness

in secret we watch
as our grumpy old neighbor
feeds our puppies treats

after surgery

after surgery
I have begun to accept
