Ian’s Homecoming

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Last night’s flaming sky

brought us warmth as we waited

for today’s big storm.

~

As the rains begin,

the temperature remains cool

and the winds begin to blow.

A Cosmic Meeting

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

What’s a little wind

and a trace amount of rain

in the cosmic scheme of things?

~

Sometimes the cosmos

seems to tease. What on earth is

it going to bring?

The Jetson’s Solution

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

At the close of day

I’m ready to read and rest,

but Knox pleads to play.

~

You need a doggie

treadmill and a robot maid

so everybody’s happy.

Necessary Steps

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Walking a mile

in my shoes is just the start

for you to understand me.

~

Knowing what connects

you to the ground is a start

toward understanding.

The Eternal Flame

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

As the sky readies

for rain, the defiant sun

insists on shining.

~

Shining endlessly,

eclipsed by moon and weather,

it persists indifferently.

Incivility

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Grim reminders stand

testament to foolish men

in Manassas’ fallow fields.

~

What occurred there changed

the assumptions made. The fight

endured. War is not civil.

Aberrant Advertising

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Surprised stores don’t have

Easter stuff on display since

they market Christmas in May.

~

Such is the nature

of holiday marketing.

Naturally, it makes no sense!

Choice Point

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

The mere threat of rain

causes some to cancel plans

but others plan on dancing.

~

Rain or shine, to dance

or not to dance remains the

eternal question.

The Nature of Decay

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

What a difference

it would make if we’d compost

over-ripe issues.

~

Compost all you want.

Once you’ve got that rot managed,

someone’s sure to bring fresh fruit.

Leave Taking

Posted by 2garrabrants

1

Do trees view with dread

the sundering of their leaves

and winter’s coming hunger?

~

Or are they grateful

for a respite from all that

weighty carrying?

Rash Race

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Speeding through our lives

we fail to yield to tiny

passing moments of wonder.

~

Such hasty living

never made much sense to me.

Rushing headlong to our death.

Life’s Music

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Change is not merely

necessary for living,

change and life are one.

~

Have we then become

life-deniers when we keep

playing the same well-loved song.?

Who needs movies when

comedy and drama can

be found at the bird feeder?

A microcosm

representing life’s foibles,

displayed innocuously.

Sunny flowers bloom

in roadside drainage ditches

and other wasted spaces.

Though not planted and

not tended, they transform

places where they land.

Grandmotherly Gaze

Posted by 2garrabrants

On our evening walk

Knox runs with sticks, rolls in grass,

sniffs the grass. I stroll along.

~

A tolerant grin

ghosts across your face, I’m sure,

as you regard his antics.

These late summer days,

just cool enough to suggest

approaching autumn weather.

Every year we fall

for these hopeful previews of

coolness and color.

Inevitably Evolution

The sun and clouds are

starting a warm discussion

as the day begins.

As their discussions

always get overheated,

I predict there will be tears.

Branch Banking

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Sudden heavy rains

make sodden, heavy branches

and fill branches to their banks.

~

You can bank on this:

heavy, fallen branches can

branch out into ponds and creeks.

In Due Time

Ever so slowly

realizations start to dawn.

What took us so long?

~

As dawn’s light begins

to slowly imbrue the sky,

darkness yields, but grudgingly.

Joy And Work

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Hedonistic joy

can not be sustainable

without, first, doing hard work.

~

Joy, an unearned gift,

sometimes lies unopened when

we’re preoccupied with work.

At day’s end when we

are all tuckered out, we just

want to be tucked in.

Slipping ‘neath the sheets

and falling into slumber

buoy us for tomorrow.

A Step Too Far

That fallen tree branch

expressed his indignation

as I bent to pick him up.

He was protesting

your human assumption he

was a cheap pickup.

Following the Canaries

From the birds’ early

morning broadcast system we

get a wakeup call.

~

And by their delay

in their southward migration

we get, yet, another one.

Fellowship remains,

even with separation,

if the foundation is true.

True Wealth

Who can find the time

to watch the sun slowly rise,

listen to the birds’ sweet songs?

Those who know that life’s

more than earning a living

value the worth of such things.

The sky begins to

fill with chattering birds as

they begin their long journeys.

Soon, they will arrive,

to darken trees and phone lines

then rise in joyous cavorts.

When Soft Is Hard

This cotton batting

between my mind and my life

leaves much to be desired.

~

Hard though it may be,

better to have soft cotton

there than a bunch of hard nails.

The Apéritif IS The Best Part

Posted by 2garrabrants

After summer’s heat,

a small taste of fall wets our

appetite for more.

Like a cold entrée

autumn rains may quench our thirst

but our joints will ache for warmth.

With September’s arrival

warm and cool banter

for who will have the most say.

Summer speaks loudly

still despite the cooling trend

Autumn remains weeks away
