sacred relic
from last year
a blueprint for new blooms
Skeleton Bloom
As Necessary As Joy
May rain
like the tears
that cleanse the soul
Contained
open
and let
your light shine
We Each Bloom In Our Own Time
unique
to each individual
the perfect timing
Before The Opening
as enchanting as
the flower in bloom
is its prequel
Azalea In Spring
spring’s verdant touch
awakens the valley
so many beginnings
the universe unfolding
Brass Echo
early turning
some azalea leaves browning
the watering can echos below
Twinkling On A Still Dormant Shrub
stars that never dim
blooms of perpetuity
remains of the azaleas
Azalea’s House
her gorgeous bloom
an invitation
for admiration
You
one among many
blooming
in common splendor
Influenced By Neo-impressionists
perhaps is was Seurat
who romanced the azalea leaves
with his pointillism
Azalea’s Final Gift
she saved
her best for last
in this bittersweet expressionism
White Azalea
unabashedly naked
is the flowering soul
translucent in the sun
Grace
humbly
basking in
divine light
Azalea Ablaze
taking
her moment
in summer’s spotlight
Interval
do nothing
see
everything unfold
In The Light
Oh! azalea
all a ruffle
beaming back the light
Welcome
garden hostess
greeting all
with coral kisses
Modesty
so much
attention from the sun
petals blush
Awash in Colors
orange waves break
on the garden’s shore
the azalea is in bloom
Pink
azalea cascades pink
into the sunlight
onto the landscape
