above you awaits tomorrow’s

a crown of glory
bejeweled with delphinium

an invitation
to step into the light

in the fullness of the sun
the deepest darkness
broken open

the starts have started
hope and weeding
precede the harvest

the garden a fire
of green

laden with delicate blooms
defying wind and rain

the day’s contours
emerge from the darkness

with whirligig centers
plumming the depths of purple

watches the world
through lavender lashes

spilling everywhere
like her love her roses
cannot be contained

in the garden
lives a serpent and savior
the holy hose

is found

of their beauty

six knee-ed
nimbly ants traverse
the intricacy of bloom

beauty, space and quiet
make a house a home
Dancer
this rose
in her pinks
my garden’s ballerina

climbing the trellis
the rose
makes its way to heaven
Side By Side
here we are
so similar and yet
unreservedly different
