the seasons a professor
giving lessons in how
beginnings and endings are entwined
Bloodroot And Pinecones
Stone Pug
faithful friend
maintains his place in the shade
between the bloodroot and the blooms
Verdant Faith
leaves clasped
like hands in prayer
plants in praise of spring
The Stone Step’s Chronicle Of Time
the old antler
and its shadow in repose
above bloodroot blooming as light
Sparkling White Sanguinaria
like clouds
with sun centers
early spring gifts
They Appeared From Seemingly Nowhere
a cohort
of bloodroot
laughing in the sun
Plant’s Paw
the big
green footprint
of spring
Beseeching
bloodroot’s leaf
clasped in prayer
beseeching blooms
Love Charm
crimson roots give rise
to the pristine white
purity of petals
Yellow Centered
embraced by your single leaf
opening by day, closing at night
wild early powerful medicinal
bloodroot
