abundance of blossoms
each bloom
a new hope
The Picking Yard
flowers
pledged fidelity
to the kindness of the garden
The Decree
winter is banished
the branch in bloom
Offers Received
in the absence of colors
an abundance of details
seasons give and take
Recipient
everything
that was needed
was given in abundant grace
Picking Garden
by arm fulls
gather up the yards
of scented colors
Rejoicing
a hallelujah chorus
rises from the gloriosa field
Prosperity of Petals
exquisite elegance
the flowering tree
animates abundance
Unity
keeping things together
rather than apart
the old fence embraces
autumn’s abundance of goldenrod
Big Giver
abundance is
the daisy’s creed
Gathered
the spirit of the meadow
resides in the abundance
brought indoors
Before Me
I’ve been ready
to be done with winter
and then nature placed
more frozen beauty before my feet
More
Brown-eyed Susan
refutes the idea of enough.
Plenty
Rudbeckia
leaves no room
for wanting.
Profusion
More beauty than the eye can hold,
enough to lift the soul.
After the Dance
Only during the solstice
is the veil between the worlds thin enough to see
where fairies hang their dancing shoes.
What the garden gives
Midsummer brings the brown eyed susan,
cone flower, cosmo, pink and lavendar
onto the table, bedside and mantle.
An abundance of beauty.
