in tandem
the soft caress of blossoms
the hum of insects busy
doing the work of the world
In The Flowering Meadow
Location, Location, Location
birds too admire
a dooryard full
of flowers
Snow Blossoms
bloom
with what
you have
Brightened
petaled lumens
mood lighting
the landscape
On The Bulkhead Door
disintegrated blossoms
rain and time
etch the cosmos
Grace
humbly
basking in
divine light
Raspberry Crabapple
birdhouse
beneath a bower
of blossoms
Arrival
born again
born anew
spring
Delphinium’s Heron
stillness
at the fence post
bookend for blossoms
Weather
petal storm
May blizzards
in flowers
One Among Many
in the multitude of blossoms
five certain petals
called out: see me
Assistance
cloudy day
the lupin shine
a blue that smiles for the sky
Traces
red buds
spring’s fingerprints
on the white woods
Inspiration
amidst bare branches
last year’s crabapples
inspiration for spring blooms
Rose-lipt Maidens
Fleeting is spring’s splendor
so sweeter is the view.
Opening
The maple unfurls
her first blossoms
opening all possibilities.
Mock Blossom
Raindrops bejewel branches
heralding spring’s spectacle.
Guardians
February thorns
protect the idea
of a rose.
Snow Blossoms
As transient as the dawn
snow blossoms hold onto the branch
with the power of a wish.
Beloved
September’s astonishing blue sky is for you.
Delicate lichen blossoms on stone are for you.
All of nature’s beauty awaits you.
Sustenance
Flowers feed the soul.
The Circle
As the first bloom fades
the next opens to its glory.
Affiance
Betrothed to each other and the earth
fairies place their wedding rings
on flower pillows side by side
during the nuptials.
Red Flowers on Rock
On the Fourth of July
the garden celebrates in colors
with fireworks of blooms.
Lupin
A meeting of friends in the meadow.
Quaker Bonnets gather
offering their quiet beauty to the whole of the land.
Traveler’s Joy
Darling of the door yard garden
clematis climbs up and along the picket fence;
most brilliant and ingenious buttercup.
Primrose
Beloved early guest of spring, goddess of the awakened earth.
Twin blossoms of love and protection mark the entrance to fairyland;
inviting you to venture past the invisible gate and into the world of delight.
Budding Out
In a burst of energy, renewal and hope colors are released
as trees transform the landscape from winter to spring.
Innocence
The magnolia sends forth her first blossoms
into the rare air of March that feels like May.
The sunshine calls and she answers yes in unfurling petals.
