Things That Don't Know Greed

The sun. Plenty of light for all to share,
although it may have some issues with shade.

Our dogs. Okay, maybe a little around treats.

Grief. It doesn't want more than is needed
to show how much love was there,
paid with a toll that can't be spent.

Things That Don't Know Greed

Hello, Michael,
Always so much depth and human compassion, especially here. I might add that your poetry is also something that knows no greed - it gives freely to all of us. Very grounding.
Thank you,
L
