deep in the quiet woods
by the unhurried water
my soul rejuvenates
Watching Light Dance On The Water
Contemplating The Leaf
repetitions
of line
how intricacies expand
Uncontainable
shoulder to shoulder
the flowers a joyful gathering
asking us to do the same
The Brightening
fuchsia lanterns
preparing to cast
their petal light
Vulnerabilities
pink plastic flamingos
their only predators
the elements, time and asethics
The Green Interpreter
consuming the color spectrum
and translating it
into a multitude of greens
Silent Invitation
like breadcrumbs
we sprinkle red flowers
for hummingbirds
A Duty Of Beauty
columbine has set her seed
one last hurrah
she blooms her leaves
The Estate
bee balm bloom
by the blue door
a kind of coat of arms
Solitude
to bloom in solitude
is still
to bloom
Make Holy The Housework
while the laundry dries
let it be perfumed
by summer blooms
Ripen
so much beauty
in the readying
to unfurl
To Hold It All As Sacred
dark and light
forever entwined
and always passing
Pink Flare
announcing
the necessity
of joy
As The Sun Rose
dreams lingered
like dew drops
on leaf tips
Cheerleaders
purple petal pom poms
cheering on
the garden’s bloom
Rising Temperatures
the smoke tree billows pink
as the door yard basks
in summer’s heat
Garden Tapestry
the days
of summer
woven in leaves
Rabbit Ears
another new litter
pink and soft
listening, listening
The Road Into Summer
from the respite of shade
blue skies of opportunities
just up ahead
Sound Seen
fire alarm
the begonia
a siren of red
Room For All
each blooms in their our own time
community’s beauty
someone is always flowering
Orchid Abstract Macro
shimmering
with the substance and structure
of life’s fragile tenacity
Painterly Spirit
splashes of color
across the lawn
Pollock’s spirit in the garden
Wishes Plant Hope
the wind
will send them into the world
these hopes for peace, equality, freedom
to take root in every nook and cranny of the land
Questions From A Neighborhood Walk
does an iron spider
weave a web
of chain link fence?
Portrait Of A Delphinium
backdropped by the black of shade
the meadow rue observes
an elegant blue lady
Summer Sun
a string of white lights
bellflowers reaching
for the sun
The Sacred Space Of Bloom
five petaled mandala
a call to meditate
on the oneness of everything
Into The Woods
follow the path
then make your own
the woods are truly home
