beauty seals
the ragged cracks
mending the broken heart
Awash in Colors
orange waves break
on the garden’s shore
the azalea is in bloom
Renewal
dappled light
the blossom’s scent
innocence returned
Intensity
the sun
so bright
colors catch fire
Lavender Glooming
the colors
wrap around us
we are held
in heaven’s embrace
Divinity Blooms
of one nature
is trillium’s trinity
her triptych in the woods
The Gardener
his work
is his vocation
the duty of pollination
Hallow Hollow
in the hollow
was his holiness
blessing sacred ground
Wishes and Dreams
morning mist
the veil between
eternity and now
Beauty Bunch
the smiling eyes
of daffodils
early girls of spring
Hedonist
a decadence
of earthly pleasures
oh the primrose path
The Day Rose Softly
the sound
of a solitary bird
walking the riverside rocks
Both
living tableau
the vernal pond’s
abstraction and fact
Behold
the bravery
of the April flower
a beauty’s brevity
Illuminati
before bursting into being
possibilities illuminate
the breath of every second
Cells
nature draws
abstractions of
the building blocks of life
Remnant of Everything
discarded bark contains
the sunrise and the sunset
and the dark side of the moon
Bees
they buzz in bubbles
beneath the ice
water is their wings
Fashion
birch and sky
both wearing stripes
the fashion of the day
March Morning
the pink of dawn
spilled onto
the frozen lawn
Abstraction of March
a flux of
halted movement
the design of fleeting time
Portend
the weather
dreamed of spring
in water eggs and feather ice
Entrance
not broken by the places
the world has worn through
new entrances for grace
Time Combined
for every shadow
there is light
counterparts
like day to night
Rock of Ages
the ancient rock
with its sleepy eye
watches all of time
travel by
Stirring
the water swam
as shadows danced
the past nourishing the present
Middle Way
deep in the woods
on the path
leads the Buddha
Shifting
neither even or fair
the lay of the land
embraces inconsistency
Surrender
a tender pink sky
softened the world
strife surrendered
Ascension
through the mist
a birch ascends
confident of heaven
