reeds unbowed
by winter’s approach
resisting advance compliance
Quiet Courage
When The world Is Gray
summon the bravery
to sing
your song
Heather’s Pink Sunrise
braving night’s darknesses
arriving in the solace
of the pastel light
First To Appear
glory of the snow
their bravery belies
their tiny size
Finding Flowers
dried by time
soaked by winter
and still blooming
Bravery
to be
in the world
just as you are
Follow The Light
put one brave foot
in front of the other
on the shadowy path
Zig Zagging Home
braving
the desolate, dangerous
driveway
Coup
every bloom
a triumph
of joy
Behold
the bravery
of the April flower
a beauty’s brevity
Keeping
pickets bravely attempt
to keep the sunshine
in the winter yard
Gleaming
traverse the inevitable darkness
in honor of the gleaming
of the morning sun
The Wave
dismissing winter
beckoning spring
so brave the grass’ gesture
Beyond
a lone pine
and the mountain beyond
behind brave branched trees
Night Flyer
Wings with eyes
a mask of bravery
predator protection
Poppies
Brave souls of impoverished soil
potent charms
who bring ecstatic dreams
July Morn
Threatening skies
don’t intimidate
wild grass
Late Bloom
One brave bloom reaches for the sun.
