autumn colors
creep up from behind
nine lives are not enough
Holding Light
serene in uncertainty
possibilities tumble
into the unknown
The Hereafter
the bloom
after the petal bloom
twice born rose
Interlude
time stopped
eternity unraveled
in a visit to a petal
Repose
beauty
in the ending
life wholly given
Flow
oh to be
a leaf in the water
that shapes the rock
Mum
the one
whose love
never tires
Shadow Bloom
backdrop of self
the play of light and shadow
a double bloom
Carried
leap of faith
the heron’s flight
all my dreams are carried
Scalloped Edge of Time
hearts on the mill stone
waiting to be used
Doormen
dahlias at the gate
ushering us into the world
welcoming us home
Inscription
autumn light
etches the edges
of everything into memory
Bedtime
tenderly the day
kissed the sky
goodnight
Parting Gift
sunflower
leaves her sunshine
behind
At The Elegant Edge
outside the spotlight
of sunshine and sparkle
the silhouette of elegance
Aperitif
last of the phlox
the final sips
of summer sustenance
Beyond the Cosmos
petals orbit
the pollen planet
saturn of sunflowers
Nearness
Tim
seeks me
in the garden
small
white
butterfly
always
hovering
nearby
Ghost
that I glimpse
from the side of my eye
Darting through blossoms
resting on leaves
Taking advantage of sunshine and breeze
Pointing out a shapely cloud
waiting on my mailbox
inquisitive antenna cocked
Reminding me
as mortality
rages on
death
is not
the final stop
Birch Brush
summer drawn
with wind and water
moving while still
Wild Ways
intrepid tree
grows in rock
eagle’s fishing spot
Dive In
in the deep end
of color
oranges give way to light
On the East Knoll
lambs gentled the landscape
making space for weariness to rest
Released
in the echo
of his cry
every tear is dried
Reverberations
the garden’s call
of happiness
resounds within the house
Memory’s Fragrance
September bloom
slight spice of fall
all the past recalled
Vision
amidst glimmer and glint
long legged glamour
gorgeousness afoot
Water Temple
elements in worship
limbs raised in prayer
reflection of faith
Art Lesson
leaves teaching
the positive aspect
of negative space
Near Enough
a great blue
dwarfed by ancients
returning to sacred ground
The Queen’s Snow
flurry
of fluttering lace
in the quiet white light
