turned towards
the north and south
eyes keen for change
Keeping Watch
Red Maple Flowers
red pompoms
raised high in the deep blue sky
cheering on spring
Trees Thinking About Leaves
encouraged
by the evergreens
tiny buds plump themselves
Window Panes In The Woods
trunks and branches
from the view
of outside outside
That Branch Of Mathematics
winter is
a mathematician
of sacred geometry
Blue Velvet
a gift
of the cold
the sapphire sky
Inward Growth
the hallowed tree
reveals
the roots of branches
Durga
green goddess
her many limbs
holding up the sky
All She Needs Is A Peter Pan Collar
dressed up
for spring in
soft fuzzy pearls
Waiting
raindrops
holding on
to this moment
Chickadee
a passerine
pausing
while passing by
Garden Lights
sunflowers
still holding
summer sun
Defying The Elements
sweet hydrangea
her summer bloom lingers
on a honeycomb of petals
Landscape Tapestry
time’s shuttle
weaving
branches, reeds, weeds
A Winter Radiance
here a rainbow rises
of colored branches
behold this halo of joy
Lighting The Way
winter raised
her red flamed torches
showing us the path
Fallen Maple
we will remember
her sweetness
when she warms us
this winter
Each Leaf In Its Own Time
the landscape
fills
with color
Amen
gratitude
for the gifts
of another day
On The Nest
winter’s egg
roosting Spring’s
first stirrings
Steadfast In Tribulation
buffeted
by the elements
leaves hold to branches
Darkness Softened
the black and white
of night snow
in moonlight
Beauty Made
every new snow
another masterpiece
of wonder
Winter’s Pattern
covered branches
the forest’s
cable knit sweater
The Forest’s Table
woodlands
set a banquet
for birds
Arrival
born again
born anew
spring
Woven Woods
embellished woodland tapestry
with bullioned pinecone
embroidery
Dressed In The Sunrise
mountains draw
a shawl of pink
across their chilly shoulders
Stopped
silence falls
where there was song
shy bird
Before You
the thing
to be loved is
what is
