A single stem
an ordinary weed
the exquisite process of living.
Moth Magic
Fuzzy lemon drop
wings kissed by lavender
one pink leg steps forward
Auspiciousness
Marigold is the sun’s bride,
the guardian of goodness
at the garden’s gate.
Rose without Thorns
Beloved maiden of the garden
peony heals sorrow with her beauty.
God’s Eye
In every blossom
the divine is looking back at you.
Fleur-de-lis
Noble in color, royal in birthright
Iris is the garden’s rainbow goddess.
Traveler’s Joy
Darling of the door yard garden
clematis climbs up and along the picket fence;
most brilliant and ingenious buttercup.
Opportunity
Delve deep
into the pink
fleeting perfection.
Tree Bones
Weathered by the seasons
bleached by the sun
the bones of the tree remain.
