lovely lichen
delicately decorating
the understory
Like A Touch Of Whimsey
Early Spring Abstracted
blue skies
and leaves
finding new forms
March Madness
some
of
everything
Borrowed Wisdom
I stopped and
leaned against a tree
to learn how to be
Blue Morning
the night slips away
and day is claimed
with sunlight and sparkle
Everything Bloomed In White
still so cold
but the glittering snow
spoke of spring
Find One In The Other
frost at work
making both
needles and hay
Recognition
mid February in the woods
winter’s eye looked in mine
and winked I do believe
The Wooded Kingdom’s Castle
constructed by decay
each spire a testament
to the sovereignty of being
A Puzzel Of Snow
each piece
fit into place
bordering branch and air
Still Open
the current
evading
cold’s hold
The Snow Abstracted
an icing
of snowflakes
time suspended
The River And The Wildflower
movement kept
within
the stillness
End Of The Rainbow
colors gathered
on the ripples
in the light
The Brook Kaleidoscopes
the water, light and movement
an invitation to slip inside
the flow of things
The Work Of Leaves
clean the air
nourish blooms and insects
replenish the soil
rest and return
Dreaming Goldenrod
sunshine to be picked
and put in a vase
sunshine a brush
painting the water
At The Edge Of Sleep
a dream
passed by
in the blue and pink sky
Contemplating The Leaf
repetitions
of line
how intricacies expand
Orchid Abstract Macro
shimmering
with the substance and structure
of life’s fragile tenacity
Abstract On Leaf
the leaf a living canvas
of shape and form
color and texture
Flow
precisely
in the present moment
grass intrinsically motivated by water
To Sing The Colors Of Spring
the peepers of spring’s color
are the frogs
waking in the vernal pools
singing the song of frondescentia
Love Prevails
a few berry kisses
waited out the winter
to welcome us into spring
Dreaming Green
the leaves and moss
the water and silt
an endless becoming
Bubbles Become Ripples
like the pooled rain
in the newly starting grass
we are both
passing through and a part of each other
Changed But Still Open
to flow
like water over rock
through heartbreak and hardship
A Section Of Branch, Some Floating Lichen
in the swirl and blur of confusion
bits of clarity, be they small,
emerge as buoys
March Mixer
raindrops in snow
atop the mulching leaves
entwined with the tenacity of grass
Inspiration
to bend but remain upright
to break but not be broken
the heroics of a leaf
