Horizon

For the ant
the horizon
lies in the grass.

Unlikely colors blend and into me seeps
a joy of beauty that abolishes all greyness of spirit.

The master gardener
grows a burgundy trellis
and decorates with dots of dew.

Sunlight transforms the creek
into the undulating underbelly
of a speckled trout.

how lavender whispers.
That purple is soft
and yellow tastes like the sun.

Green is the color of life.

Mountain water hurries over rocks
searching for the ocean.

The afternoon sky’s hues of blue
momentarily quenched my thirst for Spring.

In the dark northern countryside
holiday lights remain for much of winter
cheering us on as we drive past.

Eucalyptus and juniper berries
grace the door for the whole of winter
providing protection and beauty to the house inhabitants.

Still life of a winter’s day.
