bright and hot
blooms spreading
like wildfire
Yarrow Flames
A Favored Place
sitting on a warm stone
feet submerged in smooth cool
the perfect way to bridge a summer day
Forest Herringbone
the warp and weave
of fern fronds
with shadow and light
Summer Sidewalk
each day
a bloom
in the sun
Pinked
across species
a flower and a leaf
share a language of color
Unveiling Of Wonder
one finger of light
ignites
the sense of magic
Dande-lions
a pride
of puffery
lounging in the grass
Knocking
one way
to open the door
to a new day
Taste
my eyes
took the first bites
sweet then sour
Wading Though Flowers
the friendly bees and I
share and tenderly explore
this wonderland of blooms
Pure And Lovely
beauty and mystery
expressed
in petaled multiplicity
Deep In The Green
the brook
dissolves into
a sea of foliage
Witness
daisy in the meadow
a visitation
from the holy ordinary
A Ray Of Light Across The Brook
the stones
invite me
to walk on water
Bravery
to rise
into the unknown
choosing life
Pastime
sitting quietly
gathering hope
waiting for bluebirds
Dahlias By The Wood Shed
wood waits for winter
dahlias blaze
in July
Morning Meeting
hello my deer
hello to wildness
and wonder
Buttercup
your magic glow
shining love
on the chin of the world
Iris In The Dooryard
the garden’s appointed
sergeant at arms
officiating summer’s bloom
The Best Matinee
spend the afternoon
watching shadows play
on the hosta leaves
Hospitality
the porch’s welcome
an embrace
of flowers and shade
The Petaled Sun
I imagine
the seeding dandelion
is your moon
Running Wild
across the field
gathering down by the brook
phlox roams the summer terrain
dodging deer
aspiring to become
bouquets
Red Begonia
if fire
was a flower
it would be you
Dog Days
free to be
as lazy as the clouds
in a breezeless sky
Allium Here And Gone
your delicate intricacies
did not depart
with your bloom
Discovered Deep In The Woods
the quern stone remains
speaking of long ago efforts
at homesteading
Spires
they rise
as an exaltation of light
against the woods dark backdrop
Summer Patchwork
a patch of wildflowers
a patch of sunshine in the glade
a patch of forested shade
