Woodpecker pair comes

each day and she happily

accepts the seeds he feeds her.

Why and Why Not

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Why worry yourself

about the unknowable;

missing this flower’s splendor?

~

Why not stop and look

at all that’s here instead of

trying to see what isn’t.

Rethinking from the Start

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When thrown off course, let’s

look around. There’s no telling

all that could be found.

~

“Course” implies a race.

But should we be in such haste

when we know not what awaits?

Sinking Fast

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

The jungle out there

seems like open savanna

next to the morass within.

~

That’s why we spend so

much time on our devices

looking for relief.

Working Tools

How many lives are

lost? How many saved because

of the use of guns?

~

Guns don’t make the best

tools to minister the sick

or heal the injured.

Let us not be cowed

by his bluster and bombast.

He’s just frightened, bless his heart.

~

As far as I can

tell, he has no heart and that’s

all we need to know.

Bee’s Knees in the Trees

Posted by 2garrabrants

A cool, gray June day

warmed by cardinal’s bright winged flight

and woodpecker’s steady beat.

~

There is no debate.

When it comes to free form jazz

These birds are the cat’s meow!

Growing Pains?

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Unwelcome outer

change sometime precipitates

needed inner change.

~

On the other hand,

Some, stubbornly, double down

insisting they’re the victim.

What’s a man to do

when gentle admonitions

fail to aid reformations?

It may take some time.

Reformation moves slowly,

but don’t give up hope.

This year Summer chose

not to rush in and push Spring

heatedly aside.

Since Summer awaits

somewhere else, way off down south,

let us spring to outdoor chores.

They found no answers,

but found plenty of questions

while looking for them.

Life was about the journey

Wisdom, Wherefore Art Thou?

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

True wisdom is found,

not in seeing what is there,

but from kenning the absence.

~

Wisdom is found in

silence, but noise, both inner

and outer complicates things.

The house is alive

with the sound of grandkids. If

I want stillness, I must walk.

Heavenly Descent

Sometimes lofty clouds

fall from their high place to rest

gently on the solid ground.

With such descent comes

a softening of earth’s rough

edges and sometimes our own.

As usual, woke

to loud meows, soft whines, my

pets’ version of “hit the deck”.

curls patiently on my chest;

Hidden by the grass,

two dark rabbits watch and wait

for the time to make their break.

Knowing when to break,

from good cover, to take flight

Fox and Rabbit den nearby.
