The Rejoy of Little Things

Like melt in your mouth

Christmas treats

With a good appetite.

Enjoying a beautiful sunset

With out drugs.

Sighing over the sparkle

Of Christmas without tears.

The wonder of fresh snowflakes

Without a chill.

The comfort of a warm bed

With no fever.

The solace of a hand to hold

With no pain.

The miracle of being in this moment

Without fear.

And looking to the future

With hope.

Sharing Holiday Cheer

At Goby's...

Happy New Year's early!

Belated Gift

The Flu

Running through the family

Like the Christmas Spirit.

Sharing germs

With Holiday cheer.

May the New Year

Find us all happy

And Healthy!

A Brown December

Nothing to cover

The dirty clothes

Of Fall.

The decaying leaves

The bare branches

The dead stems

All still on display

While waiting patiently

For its winter wardrobe.

End of December

Clouds forming

Layers of grey.

Fingertips of sun

Splaying through

The dark of December.

Albertville

The hunting gathering instinct

Of our ancestors kicks in

At the Mall.

Zeroing in on the beautiful plumage

My eyes follow the green and blues

Amid the camouflage.

Closing in on my prey

I pounce on the price tag

Snag the prize

And head off with my trophy

To be mounted on the closet hangers.

Another successful safari.

Thanks Maggie and Dave and Bob.

Merry Christmas

And Happy New Year!
