seed pods and sugar houses
share the same wish
love, love, love
Hearts Abound
Ways Of Being Chosen
to be picked by the eye
rather than the hand
is to be held in
an admiration of reverence
Come Home Soon
watching for the neighbor’s light
their curl of chimney smoke
to feel so not alone
Dream Of A Memory
I call the old place
Nana answers and says
I’m waiting dinner for you dearie
Spectacle Of The New Day
morning rose
the sky
in full bloom
Azalea’s House
her gorgeous bloom
an invitation
for admiration
Each Part Relies On The Other
straight
stands the chimney
in the wobbly roofed structure
Lantern’s Light
flame extinguished
now illuminated
with memories
Strength
spring’s
green shoulders
holding up the sky
Frozen Lighting
a chandelier of ice
forms upon the pergola
Afire
the flame
of red geranium
against the chimney wall
Flue
Stones reach into the sky
inviting angels to take a place
at the hearth.
